Summary
Librarians need specialized training for systematic reviews. A new Medical Library Association course, developed by experts, enhances librarians
Area of Science:
- Library and Information Science
- Evidence Synthesis
- Health Sciences Librarianship
Background:
- Librarians are crucial to systematic review teams, offering expertise in information management and searching.
- Existing systematic review training often lacks focus on librarian-specific needs.
- The Medical Library Association (MLA) launched a Systematic Review Services Specialization (SRSS) in 2022 to address this gap.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a value-added curriculum for a new SRSS course focused on essential searching skills for librarians in evidence synthesis.
- To align course objectives with the six systematic review competencies for librarians established by health science librarians in 2017.
Main Methods:
- A case report framework was used to develop the course curriculum.
- The curriculum was structured into four modules and an activity.
- Course content was designed to meet specific systematic review competencies, including reference interviews, preliminary searches, resource selection, search strategy development, peer review, and reporting.
Main Results:
- A comprehensive curriculum was developed and delivered.
- The course was offered to eleven cohorts between 2022 and 2024.
- The curriculum successfully provided essential searching skills for librarians involved in evidence synthesis.
Conclusions:
- The developed course effectively enhances librarians' systematic review searching skills.
- This specialized training is vital for health science librarians' roles in evidence synthesis.
- The SRSS course contributes to the professional development of librarians in systematic review services.

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
