Essential Library Services: Literature Searches

Welcome to the 2024-25 academic year! This fall, the Pumerantz Library will conduct our “Essential Library Services” series. We are raising awareness of some of our most valuable services for faculty, staff, and administration. The first session in this series is Literature Searches.

How much time to you spend searching the literature? Would you like to reclaim that time? If so, take advantage of our Literature Search service! Your Pumerantz Library Reference Librarians are here to save you time and energy while you focus on your teaching, research, administrative, or other responsibilities. At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• • Navigate to the Literature Search Request Form
  • Describe three types of searches that may be performed
  • Discuss common questions that may arise during a literature search
  • Describe the formats in which results may be received
