Welcome to Your Library Research Guide!
Designing a thorough and well-documented search for your meta-analysis is challenging and requires a level of expertise beyond a traditional literature search. As your librarian, I'm here to help you succeed in this process.
This guide is designed to introduce you to some important concepts, skills, and resources for systematic searching. Some of it may refresh your memory of things you already know, while some of it will be new, and all of it will help you design a more effective search strategy.
The more you explore, the more informed questions you'll have for our Q&A on September 23rd. After the 23rd, if you'd like more individualized advice, you can book a research consultation with me. I'm looking forward to working with you!

Interlibrary Services
In your searches, it's inevitable that you'll find references for articles you want to read that UConn doesn't have. You can get those items through our Interlibrary Services! Articles (and book chapters) can generally be obtained as PDFs in a day or so, and the service is free to you. Learn more about this service and create your ILLiad account at the link below:
