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.
