<lom:langstring xml:lang="en">About These Resources

These materials were developed to support courses and workshops that teach systematic literature search methodology. They cover essential concepts and practical skills needed to plan and conduct high-quality literature searches for evidence synthesis projects. They were created for a health care context, but could be adapted for other research areas.

Target Audience

These handouts are designed for anyone teaching or learning systematic search skills, e.g.:
• Health sciences librarians and information specialists
• Instructors teaching systematic search methodology
• Graduate students learning systematic review methodology

Collection Contents

This collection includes three handouts:

1. Types of Searching in the Systematic Review Process
Covers different search approaches (lookup, exploratory, and systematic searches), their
purposes, and when to use each method in the context of evidence synthesis.

2. Systematic Database Searching
Provides detailed guidance on planning and conducting systematic searches in bibliographic
databases, including search strategy development, search terms, syntax, and documentation.

3. Supplementary Searching
Explains supplementary search methods beyond database searching, including citation
searching, grey literature searching, and trial register searches.</lom:langstring>
