If you would like to perform a search for yourself in the first instance, please look at our Database page.

Systematic review support

When capacity allows, we might be to provide limited support for other types of evidence searches, such as systematic reviews. For further information, please read our Systematic Review Support policy (below), and submit your search request via our usual request form, or contact Cate Newell, Knowledge & Library Services Manager for an initial conversation.

Evidence search disclaimer:

We will endeavour to use the best, most appropriate and most recent sources available to ensure that the information supplied is accurate, up-to-date and evidence-based. However, it is possible that it may not be representative of the whole body of evidence available, and databases, articles and internet resources may contain errors and out-of-date information. It is the responsibility of the requestor to determine the accuracy, validity and interpretation of the search results.  No responsibility can be taken by the library for any action taken on the basis of this information.
