Our Health Sciences Library (which supports our College of Medicine and Medical Center) offers a systematic review
service. The library hosts workshops to gain familiarity with the process of doing a systematic review since often times

be included in the research process of performing a systematic review. This level of involvement is on a cost recovery
basis for librarian time and typically requires an active grant to pay for this charge as well as gaining access to relevant
information for the systematic review in databases that the library does not subscribe to.
