Health & Medical Sciences Postgraduates & Researchers: Literature Searching part 2 : Supplementing database searches

After you have completed database searches for your dissertation/research paper question, you will be expected to use other resources to search for peer reviewed studies, to supplement your searches.

You may also wish to supplement your searches by looking for grey literature e.g. official policies, reports, bulletins etc.

This workshop will provide details of and demonstrate various resources available which enable you to do this.
