Requesting Research Consultation
The Health Sciences Library provides consultation services for University of Hawaiʻi-affiliated students, staff, and faculty. The John A. Burns School of Medicine Health Sciences Library does not have staffing to conduct or assist researchers unaffiliated with the University of Hawaiʻi. Please utilize the publicly available guides and support pages that address research databases and tools.
Many software packages aid in the development of health sciences systematic reviews. The following table was adapted from Kohl and colleagues' excellent review of online tools including their final updates.
