Systematic Reviews: Opportunities for Librarians*
The Systematic Reviews: Opportunities for Librarians course is offered in a blended format. The online component takes place asynchronously in a learning management system. Participants explore ten learning modules with corresponding activities designed to establish a foundation of the systematic review process. The workshop culminates in a live, multi-day workshop that provides ample opportunities for discussion and questions. Participants learn about best practices for systematic reviews and tips for handling challenging situations that may arise during systematic review and evidence synthesis projects. The workshop covers topics across the systemic review project life-cycle including protocol writing, team development and dynamics, systematic searching, reporting according to PRISMA-S, and considerations for establishing systematic review services. Participants will write an action plan to help them apply what they have learned to their future systematic review work.
