[Robin Parker]

*Apologies for cross-posting​*

Dear colleagues,

Our survey is open for another 2 weeks! If you have not yet had a chance to complete the survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PN7V6P8>, there is still time, and you are invited to contribute to our study on health sciences librarians’ teaching practices in support of student knowledge syntheses projects.  This survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

The goal of the project is to identify a) whether health science librarians teach students knowledge synthesis search methods in group settings and b) if they do, what approaches and resources they employ when teaching.



You qualify to participate in this study if:

  *   You are a librarian currently employed in a health sciences library and/or you work directly with health sciences students and faculty
  *   For the purposes of this survey, we are considering the following health sciences degree programs: dentistry, kinesiology, medicine, nursing, rehabilitation, pharmacy, psychology, public health, and social work.



The results of this research will be of interest to library and information professionals who want to know more about the approaches and educational resources that health librarians use in group settings to help health professional trainees develop comprehensive searching skills for conducting knowledge synthesis projects. This research will contribute to presentations and publications within the Library and Information Science community. There are no anticipated harms to participating in the study.



The survey will not collect any personally identifiable information. By completing the survey, you are giving your consent to participate.

This survey closes on September 19, 2022.

This research has been approved by the University of Toronto Ethics Board. Please contact the research team if you have any questions.
