Library Services

The Lurie Children's Health Sciences Library provides reference services, interlibrary loan, literature search assistance, database training and support for Clinical Care Guidelines (CCGs) and systematic/scoping reviews. 

The library provides a collection of online resources licensed for all Lurie Children's employees and shares access to select resources managed by the Northwestern Galter Health Sciences Library. 

Interlibrary Loan

Employees may request items through interlibrary loan inlcuding most journal articles, meeting abstracts, and book chapters that staff cannot obtain through the Lurie Children's library or Northwestern University Galter libraries. Articles that are not available can be requested directly through the Lurie Children's library website. Please note to access you must be logged into the Lurie Children's network to access. Any additional questions can sent to healthscienceslibrary@luriechildrens.org.

Literature Searches

One-time searches of bibliographic databases to find resources on a topic are helpful when you are beginning a research project, opening a new line of inquiry in your current research, or want to know about a field with which you are unfamiliar. Please complete the literature search request form for assistance. 

For systematic or scoping reviews please email Andrea Fawcett to schedule a consultation. 

Library Collections

Electronic Journals, Books, and Popular Databases 

Additional journals, e-books, and database subscriptions are managed by Northwestern University and require a NetID. Lurie Children’s employees with NETIDs can access many of these resources while on-site by using the Galter Health Sciences Library. If you cannot access the resource, contact ghslref@northwestern.edu
