Hi ESMIG, We've been experimenting with handling full-text retrieval for a few of the projects we're supporting this semester.

Looks like a very thorough and fascinating article with great import and I look forward to chatting with Sarah about it too since we are colleagues at UMass. As it happens, our evidence synthesis ...

Good Morning Evidence Synthesis Librarian Colleagues! Following the excellent session earlier this summer on PRESS reviews, I would like to see if anyone is available to conduct a PRESS review for a scoping review search strategy I've developed.
