    The library offers workshops throughout the year on topics such as searching PubMed and Embase, journal impact factor, and more.
  • Information Management
    Librarians can help you use RefWorks, a citation management tool.
  • IRB Consent Forms
    Librarians are available to review consent forms to ensure that they are at an appropriate reading level for study participants before your IRB Protocol is submitted.

    The Library provides experienced research librarians to assist you in performing the literature search required as part of every IACUC protocol.
  • Presentation Practice Studio
    Practice, record, and develop presentations and your public speaking skills in our soundproof studio.
  • Current Awareness
    Librarians can meet with you to set up auto alerts in databases to maintain current awareness in areas of scholarly interest.

    Add your poster, paper, or presentation to the UM Digital Archive, where it will be preserved digitally and increase the audience for your research.
