Literature Search Request Form

Once we receive your submitted form, we will contact you within 1-2 business days to connect you with the librarian working on your search.  If you do not receive a confirmation email within 2 business days, please contact us at prattlibrary@cchmc.org to ensure that we have received your request.

Due to current work-load, a literature search will take up to 14 business days to complete. Priority will always be given to searches involving immediate patient needs. Staff is not available over weekends.

We do not provide literature searches for work toward the completion of education or certificate programs.  Consultations for educational projects are scheduled depending on librarian availability.

We are temporarily unable to assist with Systematic Review searches. Systematic Review consultations will be scheduled depending on librarian availability – please email prattlibrary@cchmc.org to request a consultation. 

Your results will be sent in a Word document but you can also choose an EndNote library format in the options below.

Choose any limits if applicable.
Note: The Pratt Staff does not perform Literature Searches which are required for the completion of work toward a degree or certification program. If this is the purpose of the request we will contact you to offer a search consultation with a librarian.
A Systematic Review (SR) is a methodology, often involving a team of experts, that summarizes and analyzes all available literature in an attempt to provide the highest level of evidence on a particular treatment, guideline or best practice. SR literature searches are time consuming due to the nature of the review and search results can be expected to number in the hundreds or thousands. We are temporarily unable to assist with Systematic Review searches. Systematic Review consultations will be scheduled depending on librarian availability – please email prattlibrary@cchmc.org to request a consultation.
EndNote is a bibliographic management software tool. Click on the menu to the right to learn more about EndNote under Popular Links.
