As a part of Mann Library’s research services team, I provide research consultations for students and faculty members, guiding them on best practices for finding, organizing, and evaluating the quality of the information they need. As coordinator of our Evidence Synthesis Service team, I work closely with researchers and sometimes join as co-author on systematic reviews, scoping reviews, and other types of evidence synthesis. I provide workshops on all steps of the evidence synthesis process, and I’m particularly excited to begin work on an IMLS-funded project to train librarians to perform evidence synthesis in fields beyond the health sciences with colleagues from the University of Minnesota and Carnegie Mellon University. Since 2018 I’ve led a team of incredible librarians who collaborated on Ceres2030 (), an international project of 78 researchers from 23 countries that developed eight evidence synthesis reviews on topics pertaining to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger (). These reviews published last month in a special collection in Nature (), and each article features librarian co-authors. Projects like these showcase the true value and impact of librarian expertise.
