Neu: CAS Systematic Review Information Specialist

Abstract

The Campus Muttenz Library of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) and the Basel University Medical Library offer researchers support in conducting systematic literature reviews. In order to strengthen the role of the information specialist in the systematic review process, both institutions have jointly designed an interdisciplinary, ECTS-certified programme for the further training of (scientific) librarians from medicine and other evidence-based disciplines. In addition to teaching specific skills, it is intended to provide a formal qualification path alongside the currently rather selective further training opportunities.The poster emphasises the importance of integrating information specialists for the strongly growing number of secondary studies, would like to encourage libraries to establish or expand corresponding services and links to further information on the university certificate.
