Literature Search Service
Information and Education Services librarians provide searches of the biomedical
literature for both internal and external clientele including insurance companies,
law firms, area hospitals and the general public. Request forms are available
at the Reference Desk. You may also submit a request over the phone by calling
(860) 679-2942.
Although twenty-four hours is the departmental standard for finishing
