Review of Library Services

With summer here some of us have shifted gears, going from our usual workloads to something different for the summer months. Summer is a great time to catch up on reading articles or to work on projects that we do not have time to tackle during the “busier” fall and winter.


So if you are in need of articles and or literature searches to review during these next few months let your Affinity Library Staff help you find those articles or run those literature searches.

• Use our online Literature Search form
• Or ask us to retrieve the articles you need. In most cases, we can email you PDFs of articles, [following the Fair Use provission of US Copyright].
• Don’t forget our collection of Lean, and Studer Group Management and Leadership books.
• Make an appointment to learn how to efficiently search Medline, PubMed, or Cinahl. We offer training on these specific databases as well as a personalized library orientation geared to your interests and information needs.

Have a great summer and we hope that you find some time to relax and enjoy yourself.

Need Journal Articles?

If you need to identify relevant articles, try our citation databases. Most have links to the full-text articles.

Not comfortable doing your own searches? Request a Literature Search done by your Librarians, Margo or Michele. We are expert searchers! Just tell us what you are looking for.

If you have a complete citation in mind, check the Affinity Library Services’ A-Z Journals List to see if we have full-text access online or in print.

You can also Request an Article, and we’ll take care of the work in finding it for you. If we don’t own it, we have inter-library loan arrangements with libraries all over North America. We can usually get the article for free or low cost without a credit card.

Let us help you get the info you need!
