You will receive an Evidence Search Results Report, outlining the sources, terms and search strategy used and a selected list of key references. 

There is no charge to staff of ELHT for this service.

Users will also be asked to evaluate the impact of the search after a suitable period has elapsed (normally 3 months). ​

Where an evidence search is part of an assignment for an academic course, the library team can provide basic assistance, but will not conduct a mediated search if the search procedure is an assessed part of the assignment ​
