I want to start my systematic, literature review or search, or request a 1-2-1


If you make a 1-2-1 request for a literature search, systematic or literature review, you please send us further details about your research so that we are better able to advise you.

If you can send us information about your research title, what you have done so far, for example what databases you may have used, and further details of your search strategies, this would enable us to direct your query to the most appropriate persons to help you.

If you are using the Ovid or Ebsco databases, it is possible to send us your searches via the Ask A Librarian links at the top of the search page. You can also send queries about your searches directly to the Library’s Teaching and Learning email account.

You may have seen the online resources on the Systematic Review Guide and the Specialist Library Support pages for Advanced Searching. These pages give guidance on many of the medical and human sciences database platforms and help with starting your research.

We may be able to answer some of your questions via email. However if you wish to speak to us, when you send us details of your research you should also send us a list of your free times. We can then try and arrange an online appointment using Zoom.
