We’ve moved our Spring Forum online - and it’s free to attend!

 

Don’t let the current coronavirus crisis prevent you taking part in our free online UHMLG Spring Form on Friday 3^rd April 2020.

 

Please book your ticket.

 

We have a great line of speakers talking all about getting involved with creating and supporting systematic reviews:

 

·         Cochrane Crowdsourcing Challenge – Anna Noel-Storr (Information Specialist for the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group, Oxford University) @AnnaNoelStorr

 

How citizen science can assist the management of information overload in identifying evidence for Cochrane systematic reviews.

 

·         Measuring the systematic reviews support provided by Librarians/Information Specialists at other Higher Education institutions - Kevin Wilson (LSE Library, London School of Economics)

 

Increased demand to develop a formalised systematic review service at the LSE led to them investigating the picture across the HE landscape. The speakers will share their results and implications for future practice.

 

·         A review of the LSHTM Systematic Reviews – Jane Falconer (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine) @falkie71                                        

 

How the review of systematic review processing at the LSHTM led to the transformation of the service and development of new practices in undertaking and supporting systematic reviews across the institution.

 

·         Shifting sands: maintaining library support for evidence syntheses at Bodleian Health Care Libraries – Nia Wyn Roberts (Bodleian Health Care Libraries) @BodleianHCL

 

This talk will outline the different service models used by the library in supporting systematic reviews and how they changed to an outreach model embedded within the university research groups. It will also provide an overview of the training programmes developed for both researchers and library staff.

 

·         Tips and tricks of the trade – sharing and remembering (nearly) everything about systematic review searching - Judy Wright (University of Leeds) @jmwleeds                                                               

 

"What year did Web of Science – SCI begin?”, “How do I report a search from ClinicalTrials.gov?”, “What’s the latest guidance on rapid reviews searches?”, “Have we done searches for overviews of systematic reviews before and what did we call the strategies”? – just some questions that might come up when undertaking new systematic reviews.

Judy will provide practice tips of how to share and manage the knowledge of all things related to systematic review searching and show how an internal Wiki can help.

 

·         The Development of a Systematic Review Support Service at Cardiff – Delyth Morris (Medical Subject Librarian, Cardiff University)   @DelMorris

Delyth will share outcomes of a year long project at Cardiff. The library have been investigating how to deliver consistent support for systematic reviews and potentially making it income-generating as part of a core service.

 

Taking part will give you the chance to network online, engage in twitter chat and entry into our free prize draw – the chance to win a copy of the book on “Systematic search: practical ideas for improving results” edited by Paul Levay and Jenny Craven http://www.facetpublishing.co.uk/title.php?id=303731#.XnS6TzH7TIV
