Students Doing Systematic Reviews: What You Need to Know
- Every student doing a systematic review consults with a librarian primarily for expert searching and process guidance. Good communication between the supervisor, student, and librarian is essential in ensuring efficiency and clarity of scope and expectations. In this session we will talk about how to put students in the best position for success at every stage of the review process. This session will be of interest if you are a faculty member whose students are doing systematic reviews, or if you are a student who is working on a systematic review.
Presenter:
- Lindsay Alcock, Head, Public Services, Health Sciences Library
