Leveraging the Levy Library's robust collection of information resources and tools, the librarians are available to provide advice and recommendations on:

• selecting appropriate databases for your research topic
• developing a search strategy
• reference management tools
• type of literature review best suited to your research question
• planning a systematic review/evidence synthesis project
• identifying and selecting appropriate journals for manuscript submissions 

Contact us to schedule a research consultation or get help with a systematic review.

Faculty members, program managers, residency directors, and others may request library instruction and course support focused on the resources and research skills of greatest interest to their students, residents, and other trainees.
