Subject librarian reflections on upskilling to support staff and students with systematic reviews

Our experience at UWE Bristol

Abstract

In recent years library staff in the College of Health Science and Society (CHSS) at UWE Bristol have noticed growing demand from students, researchers, and academic staff for support with systematic reviews (SRs). This reflective piece outlines our experiences of how non-health librarians, with no formal SRs training, have met the challenge of supporting our users with SRs. We will focus on the actions we have taken to improve our knowledge and confidence, the challenges we have faced, and we will make recommendations for future career development in this field.
