We can suggest databases to search, help get the user started by demonstrating how to use databases and suggesting possible search terms, help the user to refine/revise the search, help print/save/email search results. (Similar services can be provided by scheduling a Housecall; the librarian will also do literature searches within two business days of the request.)
