Research Guides: College of Medicine Faculty Support: Literature Searches

Literature Searches

Any member of the College of Medicine's faculty, residents, staff, and administration may request a literature search from either of the medical librarians (Rebecca Renirie, rebecca.renirie@cmich.edu; Tamara Sawyer, tamara.sawyer@cmich.edu)

Request a Literature Search
You can submit a request via our Ask A Librarian form or by sending an e-mail request to cmedlibrary@cmich.edu. Please include the following information in your e-mail:

Your search topic, being as complete as possible. Please avoid submitting just key words for your search topic - this may increase the time needed to complete your search and helps us to avoid the inclusion of irrelevant citations within your search results.
The reason for your search (i.e clinical, research, curriculum-related, administrative, etc.). This helps us better focus our search.
Your contact information, including phone number, just in case we have questions regarding your request.
