The purpose of this learning activity is to begin to search for articles related to your PICO question that meet the requirements of the EBP Project.
To connect with the librarian, it is suggested you directly E-MAIL the librarian listed in the left column of this page. Directly contact the librarian via the listed PSU e-mail.
For this assignment DO NOT use the “Ask a Librarian” service or “Schedule Research Appt./Research Consultation Request” form on the library website.
Before contacting the Research Librarian you need to complete the following:
- Have one PICO question approved by your instructor
- Complete the “check your understanding” quizzes for the required library instruction modules
- Identify which databases you will search for information
- Create a list of keywords and/or controlled vocabulary terms for your PICO
Send this information to the librarian for consultation and revise your PICO(S) question as needed based on your meeting with the Research Librarian. Having a composed, revised PICO(S) is a part of EBP Project Part I.
