Evidence Synthesis Methods Interest Group

Do you have a research idea you would like to pursue, but don't know how to start? Do you know how to start, but have no time? Do you have the time, but don't know how to find librarians at other institutions interested in collaborating? Or have you successfully collaborated, researched, and published with other librarians? If any of this describes you, please bring your thoughts, questions, insights, and tips to our open discussion at HSIG's First Friday Forum, June 3^rd at 9PT/10MT/11CT/12ET. No registration or membership is required - Zoom information at the bottom of this email (calendar invite attached).

Summer is often the time for academic librarians to work on their research. Let's kick off this summer with an informal discussion about why it's hard, what it takes, what works and what doesn't. We can throw around ideas about topics we are thinking about researching, and ways to find librarians from other institutions who might be interested in collaborating. As always, bring your stories about successes or frustrations around this topic. We will not have a formal speaker or presentation. This is a purely informal discussion that will not be recorded so we can feel comfortable and speak freely.

We offer these articles as non-required reading to add to our discussion:
