Join us on Zoom on Tuesday, March 19, 2024 at 12-1pm for an introduction to systematic and scoping reviews. Registration is now open!

Have you heard of systematic and scoping reviews, but maybe you’re not sure what goes into one? This webinar will provide you with an introduction to the basics of these reviews. We’ll also discuss how to use the Library’s Systematic Review Service to make the process more productive and give you better results.
