Today on the Nottingham Systematic Review Course, our colleagues @jmwleeds.bsky.social and Natalie King are leading a session on Finding and Managing Evidence for Systematic Reviews.

Just published this paper. It reflects on searching and screening for RCTs in an education systematic review supported by machine learning. journals.uclpress.co.uk/lre/article/... Part of a special issue on systematic reviews within education. Great to publish with @alisonomara-eves.bsky.social ‬

My blog post on the LSHTM Library blog about what is happening within the US information landscape has been updated to include a BBC piece on efforts to save datasets, articles from The Lancet and Scientific American and the latest on the ERIC database. #medlibs blogs.lshtm.ac.uk/library/2025...

Fascinating lecture by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social on How digitalisation increases health inequalities. Introduced by @auhe-leeds.bsky.social 's own @katiespencer.bsky.social at Leeds Uni Med School. I suspect (hope) lots of research ideas and plans are being generated to build on this. Thank you 🙏

Librarians are trying to plan for the 45% reduction of ERIC. While the Department of Education has not (yet) released a title list of journals that are being de-selected, we're trying to create a list via a grassroots effort. View and contribute journal titles here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hot off the presses. It was an absolute pleasure to put this together with @liblaura.bsky.social! Takeaways: 1. Don't assign systematic/scoping reviews to your students! 2. Don't ask your university librarian to support this terrible idea! journals.indianapolis.iu.edu/index.php/hy...

Had a fun time working with @craftyhilary.bsky.social on this! We wrote and published a tutorial / guide on translating APA #PsycInfo searches from the #Ovid to #EBSCOhost interface. doi.org/10.1017/rsm.... #ExpertSearching #SystematicReview #Medlibs #Canmedlibs

Big news: we are setting up a new non-profit organization to run bioRxiv and medRxiv. It's called openRxiv [no it's not a new preprint server; it's dedicated organization to oversee the servers] openrxiv.org 1/n

@auhe-leeds.bsky.social Information Specialists at #COREIRF25 with Embase estimates poster. We think for most searches you multiply Ovid Embase search results 2-3 times to estimate the size of your final deduplicated search results #SystematicReview

Using search summary tables can make systematic searches more evidence based @abeth.bsky.social #COREIRF25

#InformationRetrieval careers progression - super panel. So interesting to hear how we've found and developed our roles #COREIRF25 @michellemaden.bsky.social

I'll be doing an advent calendar of #SearchingSkills where you can try/learn something new every day. It will be primarily in PubMed and sometimes using MeSH terms to answer the question. It will be aimed at inexperienced searchers, but I hope experienced searchers will join in too!

🔇 We are delighted to let you know that a new chapter, ✨Search methodology for evidence syntheses✨ has been added to the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis: jbi-global-wiki.refined.site/space/MANUAL... #EvidenceSynthesis
