Requesting Literature Searches

Did you know that you can request a literature search on any topic or question you have?  Our health sciences librarians will conduct a professional literature search for you, searching the most appropriate databases, library catalogues, and other Internet resources available through the University of Manitoba Libraries.  We will send you a list of references by email, mail, fax, or in-person pick-up. Select the citations that are of interest to you and we will send you the full text documents.  Books and other library materials are delivered to Manitoba Health and RHA clients through the mail, and full-text journal articles are emailed, mailed, or faxed.

To request a literature search you can:

· Complete the online form: https://www.umanitoba.ca/libraries/units/health/secure//literaturesearch.ssl.php

· Print and fill in the form on our website: http://mhiknet.lib.umanitoba.ca/literature_searches   You can then fax or mail the form to us.
