Easy Steps to Building a Team-Based Systematic Review Service*

For more information on this course, or to schedule, please contact Stephanie Roth at stephanie.roth@temple.edu.

Ongoing development and planning is necessary to build a sustainable team-based systematic review service that is equipped and ready to handle more systematic review related requests.  There is an increased demand in educational services related to systematic reviews.  More often, researchers are seeking the support of the library since they provide comprehensive literature search skills.  Researchers may not know where to begin when approaching a new review project and the development of clear learning outcomes for researchers can enhance the education and instructional services that librarians offer.  This comprehensive model or toolkit for librarians is designed for librarians who are looking to build a team-based systematic review service or are looking for ways to enhance the services they already offer.  The overall objectives of this course is to provide an easy pathway for librarians to create a team-based systematic review service.  This interactive course will consist of hands-on learning activities and will give you the tools to be successful and perhaps the confidence needed to lead a systematic review team!
