Abstract

This project focuses on supporting librarians to meet the increasing needs of researchers (students/faculty) for support and guidance during all stages of the review process. It supports and supplements an already existing literature search service. This project additionally integrates a new approach to a team-based systematic review service model to demonstrate that all librarians can provide educational support for systematic reviews regardless of their experience or mastery of systematic reviews. The model also allows for those with the most advanced training or mastery of systematic reviews to serve as a team leader/mentor, spend more time on the literature search service and continue staying up to date on current trends related to systematic reviews.

These materials can't be sold or used for commercial use. Derivatives must contain the same license. It's been several years since publishing this model and the field has evolved. While the term "service" is used throughout, it may be helpful for our profession to get away from terms like "service" for marketing the service. We are now collaborators, partners, and researchers who support systematic reviews or evidence synthesis projects.
