Identifying the Evidence for Systematic Reviews
21st March 2017, 10am to 4pm, at Swansea University
The popular one-day course for information specialists and librarians on supporting systematic reviews in health and social care will be hosted by Swansea University in association with Health Libraries Group, Wales.
The course will be led by:
• Carol Lefebvre, Co-Convenor of the Cochrane Information Retrieval Methods Group
• Kath Wright, Information Services Manager at the Centre for Reviews & Dissemination
The day is a mixture of presentations, practical exercises and quizzes, with plenty of time for questions and discussion.
By the end of the day participants will know about:
• systematic review methods
• planning an appropriate search strategy
• locating and using methodological search filters
• documenting the search process
• managing references using bibliographic software
• the role of the information professional in the systematic review team
Pre-requisites for course attendance:
• experience of bibliographic database searching
• familiarity with MeSH indexing, Boolean operators, truncation and other basic search tools and techniques
The course does not include a “hands on” database searching session so prior knowledge or experience in these areas is essential to get the most from the day.
The number of places will be limited so early booking is advisable.
Cost for the day: £150
We will be unable to provide refunds for cancellations after the 14th March 2017.
