Example article: A 2014 article by Ubbink & Stoekenbroek covered “Systemic wound care: a meta-review” and was published in volume 24 of the journal Surgical Technology International.
5. How many ways can you list for asking librarians for assistance with a research project? Which of the library help services would be most interesting and useful to you in your study and research style?
