This session will provide a template for the creation of a Systematic Reviews Service for academic institutions aiming to provide support for systematic reviews and meta-analyses in the social, behavioral, and biological sciences. The service template covers options for supporting researchers, determining demand, mediating librarians' involvement, questions of co-authorship, working with library leadership, and how to secure training and mentorship for librarians and information specialists who are working with researchers.

Learning Objectives:

Determine the demand for a systematic review service at their institution.
Create a tiered systematic review service that manages both demand and librarian's time and involvement.
Identify ways to support and train librarians and information specialists to conduct quality systematic reviews.
