Mediated Online Searching Mediated Online Searching This fee-based online search service is available to everyone from the MTU community. This service is a mediated search service in which a librarian searches databases that are not otherwise available to patrons. These databases charge fees that are billed to the patron.
Databases are available in virtually all subject areas.
Citations may be provided for materials appearing in journals, conference papers, patents, and newspapers. Information may also be obtained from numerical files containing scientific or statistical data. A search request form may also be completed on the Library's web site. Before the search is started, the patron and a librarian will discuss the search topic in detail. This can be done in person or by telephone.
