    Dear all,


    We are pleased to offer a virtual, hands-on training over two half-days on R, RStudio and litsearchr. This training will be held April 20-21, 2023 from 2-5pm EDT. Mark your calendars for the call for applications, which will open March 1st with a deadline of March 15. Space is limited and applications will be reviewed. 


    This training is designed to introduce librarians and information specialists to the R programming language using RStudio, with a particular focus on using R for evidence synthesis. litsearchr is an R package designed to assist in term harvesting and search strategy development. You will gain hands-on experience with these tools, providing a foundation for building your skills, automating aspects of search strategy development and generating reproducible code for evidence synthesis projects.
