Join us for a series of noontime webinars February through May providing an overview of systematic reviews in the health sciences literature. Whether you’re planning to do a systematic review or just want to update your knowledge or fill in some gaps, these 30-minute sessions will provide the information you need from an expert librarian. Tom Harrod, Associate Director, Reference, Instruction and Access will be the instructor for all sessions. Tom has extensive experience with both authoring systematic reviews and teaching others, including a two week elective session, “Introduction to Systematic Reviews” for second and third year medical students.
Register to attend the seminar sessions live or view the recordings on our YouTube channel later.
