Systematic Reviews in Food Science, Nutrition, and Packaging Sciences: Bringing Together Medical and Agricultural Resources to Expand Services and Training

Systematic Reviews in Food Science, Nutrition, and Packaging Sciences: Bringing Together Medical and Agricultural Resources to Expand Services and Training

The objective of this paper session is to explore a case study of library service opportunities to support the unique systematic review needs of researchers in Food, Nutrition, and Packaging Sciences. In this session, we describe the collaboration necessary to provide support and training to these individuals, ways to assess the quality of services, and methods used to ensure individuals receive the blended training needed to successfully undertake the systematic review process. The development and implementation of a systematic review training program for graduate students and faculty in this department illustrates the ways that cross-subject specialist collaboration can be used to enhance the quality and guidance provided for teams conducting evidence-based research outside of the traditional scope of health sciences and medicine.
