Literature Searching

Online searching provides current literature on a particular topic of interest. Using databases available through the Carpenter Library, a library staff member prepares a computer-generated bibliography on the specific topic requested. Databases cover a variety of subject areas including medicine, natural sciences, social sciences, business, and more. The computer search service is offered during reference hours on a cost-recovery basis.  Medline searches are free. Requests for this service may be made in person, by calling (336) 713-7100, or by completing this form.

Citation Checking

The citation checking service validates citations in bibliographies for accuracy and correct format, thereby facilitating the preparation of manuscripts for publication. You may request this service here, or call (336) 713-7100.
