Hi #medlibs et al who is providing guidance for systematic reviews of incidence and prevalence these days? I thought it was JBI but I am missing something. TYIA

Excellent, excellent webinar with the fabulous @daniellepollock.bsky.social -- scoping review purpose and process. I'm really enjoying watching, and I appreciate the shout-out to #medlibs & focus on the importance of the search (and phases of searching). www.youtube.com/live/l5bRbo7...

who would voluntarily choose chaos and cruelty i have no idea NLM hiring a director? i can hardly believe it myself hr.nih.gov/careers/open...

anyone having trouble running searches in pubmed today or is it just me

Are there any #toxicology #librarians out there I can be friends with? #toxlibs #medlibs

Good morning! #librarians and #medlibs who use Overton, how do you like it? Feel free to DM!

This is interesting to read! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41092928/

Do any #medlibs know if the shutdown is affecting search alert emails? I know several users who are not getting their search alerts, which I would have thought was automated. TIA!

Please remove me from this list

The government shutdown is going to affect the MEDLINE component of all the platforms that hold MEDLINE, right? #medlibs

Question for #medlibs et al -- how do you like EndNote 2025? Worth the upgrade?

Just wanted to share a really nice poster by @carrieprice.bsky.social and colleagues. As someone who deliberately invited librarians a lot when I was editing systematic reviews, I can vouch for what they add. Specific info about attitudes and priorities is really interesting. osf.io/8khyp

I've officially been at my new job longer than I was at my old job.

I have this alert set up in PubMed: "conducted accordance PRISMA"[tiab:~5] OR "following PRISMA"[tiab:~5]

AI search tools for evidence synthesis. So proud of our team! #medlibs #canmedlibs #ukmedlibs #ausmedlibs #expertsearching #evidencesynthesis onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Here's a new one: "The Johanna Briggs Institute" First of all it was Joanna and second of all they go by JBI now.

If somewhere in your #SystematicReview methods, you are reporting that "a medical librarian developed, ran, recorded, reported [whatever] the search," then ... I WANT TO SEE THAT MEDICAL LIBRARIAN AS A CO-AUTHOR or at the very least an acknowledgement.

Data available upon request is not acceptable. Search/es available upon request is also not acceptable. If you are going to do science, do science, please.

Is something weird happening with Embase #medlibs, I thought we used to be able to use :it or /it for publication type, in fact it even gives you this translation in the query translator, but I've found today that :it or /it for pub type isn't working (bringing back zero).

I had a great time at the Peer Review Congress @peerreviewcongress.bsky.social last week. Well planned and executed, top-notch presentations, and lots of thoughtful discussion. So happy to meet everyone from around the world and make new connections!

I’m pleased to experience the 10th Peer Review Congress and present with @mlrethlefsen.bsky.social! Our poster examines the perceptions and experiences of librarian peer reviewers for evidence synthesis methodologies. #prc2025

Bless librarians and their LibGuides! I am finding the guides so useful now!

I started off my morning with a visit to the dentist where it was bring your kid to work day and the hygienist had a lot of questions about why I'd changed jobs three times in the last year. Oh we're doing this? Ok!

To all my friends still in academia.... GOOD LUCK!

PubMed seems to be terribly broken today. Thanks to a few librarians on the #medlibs listserv. Phrase searching is broken.

I'm playing in a production of Seussical the Musical for the next few weeks and there's a spot where Horton, an annoyed & grumpy elephant, looks at the audience and sings, "When worse comes to worse, as we all know it will..." in a very catchy show tune and it cracks me up.
