Why did we create this class? • Increasing demand for systematic review support • 2000:53 2005:89 2010:100 2012:142 2013 so far: 53 • Requests were often uninformed about standards for and work involved in SR research • Library staff interested in improving our work product • Nearly all librarians and informationists have completed the University of Pittsburgh course University of Pittsburg HSLS Systematic Review Course • NIHL has a well-developed teaching program and class enrollment system into which we could slot this class MLA/One Health Boston 2013 NIHL

Later: formal service to assist in the conduct of systematic reviews • Options: Series of Web-based tutorials Class • Team effort : Sections developed by subgroups . MLA/One Health Boston 2013 NIHL

  9. Course overview • Importance of systematic reviews in research and medicine • Differences between narrative reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses • Selecting the systematic review team • Developing the systematic review protocol • Conducting the literature search • Steps for completing the systematic review MLA/One Health Boston 2013 NIHL

  10. Ready to roll • First class taught November 3, 2011 • Taught four times in 2012, once in 2013 • 3 instructors • 2013: added content on meta-analyses and RevMan (Cochrane) software • Enrollment: 20-28 MLA/One Health Boston 2013 NIHL

  11. Changes • Retirements • Added instructor, who brought expertise in meta-analyses and RevMan software (Cochrane) • Updates planned: • Examples (bored with cannabinoids?) • Organization • Clean up content: some duplication, some lack of clarity MLA/One Health Boston 2013 NIHL

  12. Evaluation • Standard NIHL instruction evaluation form: • Clarity of instruction • Instructors’ knowledge • Responsiveness to questions • Handouts • Objectives met • Physical classroom suitability • Student knowledge MLA/One Health Boston 2013 NIHL

Comments • Would attend advanced course with more examples • Organize a workshop at NIH • Next step: more detailed PubMed (MeSH terms, etc.) • Introduce software to do meta-analysis • Include SRs that are not of RCTs/not clinical • Thank you so much for this training! • More in-depth could be offered as a follow-up to this class • Excellent seminar…adding practical exercises would be great MLA/One Health Boston 2013 NIHL
