Searching Techniques for Systematic Reviews - Part 1 In-Person

Please note this is a two part in person workshop.

A systematic review is a high-level overview of primary research on a particular research question that tries to identify, select, synthesize and appraise all high-quality research evidence relevant to that question in order to answer it. In these sessions we will focus on the structured searching phase of a systematic review. The systematic review is an approach used in a range of disciplines but mainly health, education and social policy (as part of evidence-based policy or practice) and is much more than a literature review because it follows a methodology which means it is 'transparent, rigorous and replicable.'

Librarians will introduce you to the searching phase of a systematic review across 2 sessions.

In Part 1, we will give instruction and demonstration on how to search information resources systematically.
In Part 2, we will break into small groups to examine search strategies that students and researchers are working on and tackle any questions or problems. (24th March 2023 10.00-12.00) Registration for part 2 https://libcal.ucc.ie/calendar/librarytraining/sysrev2
