Research Help
Need help with a literature review?
Your subject librarian can meet with you to help refine your search terms, advise on appropriate databases, discuss how to manage your search results, and consult on systematic or scoping review methods.
If you're doing a systematic, scoping or rapid review, learn more about our Knowledge Synthesis Service.
For other reviews, book an online appointment or contact ursula.ellis@ubc.ca.
Workshops are regularly offered on a wide range of topics, including literature reviews and systematic reviews.
