Beaumont Library

Literature Searching

The librarian provides 1-1 support with literature searching. During these tutorials we will do a search in the key databases on your specific topic and save the searches for you. Using best practice for literature searching, we provide guidance on writing up your search strategy.  If you require urgent assistance with a literature search, we can run a database search for you and email you a selection of relevant article abstracts on your specific topic.

Book a tutorial or literature search online using our Clinical Query Form or by emailing us at bhlibrary@rcsi.ie.
