Negotiating roles and recognition on a review team is a challenge few librarians are prepared for. This webinar will help you rise to the challenge and develop the communication skills essential to your career development and for working effectively with systematic review teams.
You’ll gain strategies for communicating with teams in a variety of areas, including:
- Assembling essential information, starting with the project requests
- Maximizing the value of the initial team meeting
- Educating review teams about your contribution
- Setting expectations for librarian contribution, timelines, and recognition
- Communicating during the project
You’ll learn from Jen’s and Heather’s knowledge and their combined 16 years of experience working on review teams. In-session practice applying strategies to real-world scenarios will help solidify your learning.
You’ll leave the webinar with a toolbox of resources, strategies, and tips and with increased confidence in negotiating your role and recognition in systematic review projects and getting projects back on track when communication goes awry.
This course is required for Level I of the Systematic Review Services Specialization.
