Consultation with a subject librarian
Systematic review search consultations are available to Concordia students, faculty and staff, via the subject librarian assigned to their discipline.
During a systematic review consultation, you can expect:
- Assistance with structuring a search strategy
- Guidance on specialized resources you might consider searching
- Assistance with search techniques specific to resources Concordia has access to
During a systematic review consultation, the librarian will not be responsible for:
- Developing and documenting a comprehensive reproducible search strategy
- Translating search strategies for additional database platforms
- Running searches
- Downloading the results to citation management software
- De-duplicating the results
- Searching grey literature resources
More in-depth assistance and collaboration may be available to Concordia faculty but is at the discretion of the librarian. In cases where librarians agree to be a member of a systematic review team, roles and deliverables should be discussed and agreed upon by both the review team’s principal investigator and the librarian.
