Use the Literature Search Service to save you time

 You can use the Health Library Literature Search Service to help you to get the best healthcare evidence quickly. 

What is the Health Library Literature Service?

If you need evidence quickly we can run literature searches on your behalf. Our expert librarians will discuss your requirements with you and search the most relevant, good quality resources to find you the best evidence. You'll get a report including all the items - such as articles, reviews, guidelines and reports - which match your search criteria.

This:

  • Saves you time
  • Gives you good quality resources
  • Helps you get easy access

Who can make a request?

This service is available to NHS staff and Keele academics to support service delivery, patient care, research and professional development.

Please note that this service is not available to support assignments - please contact our training team if you need help searching for information for your studies.
