Library Literature Search

Expert literature searches by the Library team

Skilled experienced librarians can carry out searches of major databases such as AMED, CINAHL, PsycINFO, HMIC, Social Policy & Practice, Medline, OTDBASE free of charge for professional and associate members only.
Search results, including titles and abstracts, are emailed.
Literature searches are dealt with in order of receipt with a turnaround time of up to four weeks.
This service is not offered to student members because students are required to develop literature searching skills as part of training. Student members should contact their own academic librarians for information skills training and using databases.

(Please note that if you have already carried out a literature search on the databases listed above it is not a constructive use of the Library's time to carry out a search using the same databases as we are unlikely to find any additional information)
(Please remember that the Library staff are not occupational therapists. The subject area needs to be explained as clearly as possible, with words written out in full, rather than using abbreviations. If we are not able to understand your explanation the form will be returned as we will not be able to carry out the search effectively).
