Librarian Collaboration
Selected Gumberg librarians are expert searchers with advanced training on how to conduct comprehensive literature searches for systematic reviews.
Some specific ways that the librarians can help include:
- Determining if a systematic review has already been done on the proposed topic
- Recommending specific databases and other information sources
- Collaborating to translate the research question into reproducible search strategies for relevant databases
- Conducting literature searches
- Delivering search results in formats that can work with citation management tools and other systematic review software
- Writing the search methodology section of the review
- Maintaining records of search steps and results and update searches as needed
