Librarians can help you find and manage information from a wide variety of sources, both print and digital (online).

Services we offer:

Education
Instruction in the use of MEDLINE, Evidence-Based Medicine tools, EndNote, PowerPoint, and a wide range of other digital resources is available. Librarians provide one-on-one instruction, scheduled workshops, and departmental seminars.

Research Consultations
Meet with a Librarian at a convenient location (your office, lab, etc.) for in-depth assistance with your research, including identifying appropriate information resources, developing effective searching strategies, and accessing articles and books.

Curriculum/Course Support
Librarians can work with faculty to integrate research strategies and library information and resources into courses.

Literature Searching
Librarians can do the search for you. Contact a librarian to request a search. If you wish to do your own searching, librarians can help select appropriate resources and will assist you with your search strategy.

Keeping Up with the Literature (Alerts)
Librarians can help you set up an ongoing search or alert on a particular subject to be automatically e-mailed to you; some services offer RSS feeds.

Citation Verification
Assistance is available to help you with problematic citations that might be incomplete or incorrect.

Services offered to:
Full research services, including database searches, are provided to all Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical School faculty, students, and staff; Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital staff; Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic/Lebanon staff; and staff at other hospitals with contracted library services with the Biomedical Libraries (Central Vermont Medical Center, Cooley Dickinson Hospital, Weeks Medical Center, and New London Hospital).

Availability of research services to other users of the Biomedical Libraries depends on staffing levels and demands for services from the clientele specified above. Members of the general public should also consult with their local public library.

Librarian-mediated searches in licensed or free databases are done without charge; costs are charged back for searches in fee-based databases.
