HSLG Literature Search Peer Review Buddy Scheme Overview

HSLG's initiative involves pairing solo-librarian members for peer review, focusing on systematic reviews. Participants share search strategies, utilize PRESS guidelines, and discuss findings online. Feedback indicates moderate to extremely useful outcomes, with suggestions for expert guidance. The scheme enhances networking, learning, and the search process for involved disciplines like business, social sciences, food science, education, and health sciences.

  8. OVERALL, WE FOUND THE MEETING WITH OUR PEERS AS PART OF THIS SCHEME TO BE: MODERATELY VERY EXTREMELY Feedback survey response rate: • 52% Round 1 • 47% Round 2 USEFUL INTERESTING RELEVANT

  9. WHAT WENT WELL? NEW LEARNING OPPORTUNITY TO NETWORK EXCHANGING EXPERTISE & EXPERIENCE It was a good challenge. Our search was a bit tricky so we had to keep changing our strings to capture all the articles. It was comforting to know that we were all in the same boat and interesting that we had similar but not identical approaches. So we all learned something new. DISCUSSION

  10. WHAT COULD WE DO TO IMPROVE THE SCHEME? REPEAT EXPERT GUIDANCE SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION Perhaps some form of professional moderation, as my colleague said 'it was a bit like the blind leading the blind'. We felt we needed an expert to tell us what we got right or wrong. SHARED RESEARCH QUESTION

  11. WHAT, IF ANYTHING, WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY AS A RESULT OF THE PEER REVIEW MEETING? PEER REVIEW MY SEARCHES BROADEN SEARCHES INVESTIGATE DATABASE FEATURES It has given me more awareness that there is no perfect search, the value of similar citation searching and to maybe ask for peer support in the future MODIFY MY SEARCH PROCESS

  12. • Round 3 NEXT STEPS • Further training opportunities to be co- ordinated by HSLG • Additional resources on HSLG website
