ESI Canada is based on the original Evidence Synthesis Institute (which is a US Institute of Museum and Library Services-supported program geared towards providing training on evidence synthesis). The Institute is aimed at library staff primarily supporting evidence syntheses in topics outside of the health sciences and will cover:
- overview of systematic reviews and similar methodologies,
- guidelines and standards,
- search strategy development,
- software/tools,
- screening, and
- systematic review services
The 2023, 2024 and 2025 versions of Evidence Synthesis Institute Canada are brought to you by a partnership between the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) and University of Victoria Libraries. For more information visit: https://libguides.uvic.ca/ESICanada
