Book a consultation with a librarian (SVHM staff only)

SVHM staff can book a time to meet an actual real life librarian!

Common types of consultations:

  • Orientation to library services and resources
  • How to find full text PDFs of journal articles onsite or offsite
  • Introduction to Browzine
  • Co-authorship of systematic reviews
  • Discussing how librarians can support your special interest group or research team
  • All sorts of librarian-ish discussions that don't fit neatly anywhere else!

Contact us to book a time to meet either face to face in the library or online via Teams. We are also happy to speak to groups and attend meetings where a librarian's input can be useful.
