In resource poor, cost saving times, this book provides practical
advice on new methods and technologies involved in systematic
searching and explores the role of information professionals in
delivering these changes The editors bring together expert
international practitioners and researchers to highlight the latest
thinking on systematic searching. Beginning by looking at the
methods and techniques underlying systematic searching, the book
then examines the current challenges and the potential solutions to
more effective searching in detail, before considering the role of
the information specialist as an expert searcher. Systematic
Searching blends theory and practice and takes into account
different approaches to information retrieval with a special focus
being given to searching for complex topics in a health-related
environment. The book does not presume an in-depth prior knowledge
or experience of systematic searching and includes case studies,
practical examples and ideas for further research and reading. The
book is divided into three parts: Methods covers theoretical
approaches to evidence synthesis and the implications that these
have for the search process, including searching for complex topics
and choosing the right sources. Technology examines new
technologies for retrieving evidence and how these are leading to
new directions in information retrieval and evidence synthesis.
People considers the future of the information specialist as an
expert searcher and explores how information professionals can
develop their skills in searching, communication and collaboration
to ensure that information retrieval practice is, and remains,
evidence-based. Systematic Searching will be essential reading for
library and information service providers and information
specialists, particularly those in a health-related environment. It
will also be of interest to students of library and information
science, systematic reviewers, researchers and practitioners
conducting complex searches in settings including social care,
education and criminal justice.
