Literature Search Request Form

The Library Reference Staff is able to access over 600 databases through online computer systems and produce a search tailored to specific subject needs for NIH-related work.

Use this form to request a librarian mediated search for publications by a particular author, or on a specific subject, including searches for chemical compounds, animal studies, clinical protocols, and patents.

Database search results are normally ready within 2 working days. Unless otherwise indicated, search results will usually include 5 years of current literature in English.

Photocopy Requests MUST be made through Loansome Doc, Web of Science, Porpoise, or the NIH Library catalog. For more information on how to request photocopies, or materials from another library, please link to http://nihlibrary.nih.gov/About/articlebookordering.htm
