Literature Search Request Form | Edward L. Pratt Research Library

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 at least 14 business days to complete. If you need a sooner deadline please email prattlibrary@cchmc.org and we will negotiate what is currently feasible. 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.

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.

How will the literature results be used? *

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.

Is this for a Systematic Review? *

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. Systematic Review consultations will be scheduled depending on librarian availability – please email prattlibrary@cchmc.org to request a consultation.
