Synthesizing Services: Sharing and Comparing Systematic Review and Evidence Synthesis Services in Academic Libraries

Systematic review and evidence synthesis (SR/ES) services in libraries support the needs of researchers in various stages of evidence synthesis methodologies, most notably comprehensive searching. The process of developing and implementing these library services vary based on the needs and resources of the institution, and thus there is no prescriptive path to success for a fledgling SR/ES service. In an effort to address this gap, we have developed the Cumulative Repository for Evidence Synthesis and/or Systematic Review Service Material in Open Science Framework (OSF). This repository contains material related to the development of SR/ES services, such as strategic plans, training material, intake forms,and policy documents. During this presentation, we will introduce the repository, sharing our mission and vision statements, intended audience, maintenance plan, and an open invitation to future collaborators.
