Evidence Synthesis Institute Canada

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. ESI Canada was delivered in French for the first time in November 2025. For more information about ESI Canada, visit: https://libguides.uvic.ca/ESICanada
