Literature Search Policy

Banner Health Library Services staff are available to assist all Banner providers, employees and affiliates with information resources.

In addition to providing the full text of requested articles, Banner Health Library Services will perform literature searches on topics requested by Banner affiliates. Some communication is needed for all search requests, and librarians are able to provide better search results when users complete the research request form.

The Banner Library website contains tutorials on several library-oriented topics, including tutorials on how to search specific databases.

When requested, Banner librarians will provide instruction on how to search available databases; we are able to instruct individual users or groups. We will provide instruction in person or by virtual means, based on the needs and locations of requestors. We will assist Banner employees and affiliates with formulating PICO questions and with refining search strategies. We are able to provide quick instructions to searching the databases.

Although we will perform literature reviews on requested topics from Banner staff and affiliates, Banner librarians have limited time to perform systematic reviews. If you are considering a systematic review or other evidence synthesis project please review our FAQ.
