There are still places available on this one day course aimed at librarians and information specialists supporting systematic reviews in health and social care. The day is a mixture of presentations, practical exercises and quizzes, with time for questions and discussion.
It is hosted by the Centre for Reviews & Dissemination, University of York and led by:
Carol Lefebvre, Co-Convenor of the Cochrane Information Retrieval Methods Group
Melissa Harden, Information Specialist at the Centre for Reviews & Dissemination
Kath Wright, Information Services Manager at the Centre for Reviews & Dissemination
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 course will run from 9am - 4pm.
Course fees
£200 for public sector & non-profit organisations.
£540 (incl. VAT) for private & commercial companies.
Price includes lunch, refreshments and a course pack.
A charge of £20 will be payable for cancellations up to 17th August 2019. Cancellations after 17th August 2019 will not be refunded.
In the unlikely event that, due to unforeseen circumstances, any of the workshops have to be cancelled by the University of York, our liability is limited to a refund of paid workshop fees only. We recommend that delegates have adequate insurance cover to claim any travel or personal expenses.
