“Grateful to have such an amazing resource”

I have been working on a systematic literature review for the last 5 months, and this project wouldn’t have been possible without the HSL librarians.  They helped me redesign my search strategy, assisted me with database troubleshooting, delivered scores of articles electronically, and throughout, have patiently answered many, many questions.  I’m grateful to have such an amazing resource right across the street!

HSL Librarian Mellanye Lackey “amazing”!

(Quick comment) I’m a distance doctoral student and was in Chapel Hill for a meeting last week and requested some time with Mellanye Lackey for help with lit review techniques and improving my use of Refworks. She was amazing and REALLY helped make my life easier. Thanks!

Thank you so much for doing this hands-on seminar again for our graduate students. They really found it to be helpful and will be integrating EBM searches into their end of semester case presentations.

Many thanks!!!

Medical student likes HSL online training video

Our first week a librarian [Lara Handler] came to our class and had an adobe captivate presentation teaching us how to do Pubmed searches … I thought the presentation was excellent for doing an online presentation and also incorporating quizzes, so I’d like to show it to my principal investigator at UNC to show him why we should use the software
