Identifying the evidence for systematic reviews: an introduction for 
Information Professionals - training day.
10 JULY 2007
CENTRE FOR REVIEWS AND DISSEMINATION, UNIVERSITY OF YORK


This training day is organised by the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination.

Library and information staff are increasingly facing requests to undertake 
the information component for systematic reviews and other large-scale 
projects.
This training day aims to provide health and social care information 
professionals with an overview of the particular issues involved in 
supporting systematic reviews, such as extensive literature searching, 
bibliographic management and document acquisition, so that they can deal 
confidently with requests for help.

The training day is an introduction to the issues for information
professionals involved in systematic reviews, and we plan to offer more 
advanced courses in the future.

The day will run from 9.30am until 4.30pm at the University of York, and 
will comprise presentations, group discussion and practical exercises in 
the following areas:

*        Systematic reviews
How a systematic review differs from other types of project
How information professionals can be involved in supporting systematic 
reviews at various levels

*        Literature searching
Search techniques and approaches
Identifying relevant resources

*        Other support services
Key components to cost information support for a project
Documenting the search process
Managing search results and references
