CE - AN INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS FOR HEALTH SCIENCES LIBRARIANS
- This course will provide an introduction to systematic reviews and other evidence synthesis types for librarians new to the process, with a focus on the librarian’s role on systematic review teams. Topics include: defining a systematic review and comparing it to other evidence synthesis types, assisting teams with topic development and protocol registration, taking the proper steps to conduct and document a search, use of screening tools, recommending resources for data extraction and critical appraisal, reporting a search following the PRISMA-S checklist, how to determine co-authorship, and special considerations for artificial intelligence and automation in systematic reviews. Attendees will have the opportunity to practice what they learn with hands-on activities and group discussion.
| Presenter Bio: Jules Bailey is the health sciences librarian at Florida State University with a master’s in library science from Florida State University (2014) and previous experience at a community college library and a public library. The first health sciences librarian position at the FSU Libraries was created in 2023 in part to respond to increased demand for systematic review assistance, and Jules is the first person in this role.
