Synthesis review services support in Canadian academic libraries

This dataset results from an online survey of Canadian academic libraries conducted by librarians at the University Library, University of Saskatchewan from May 2-16, 2018. The objectives of the survey were: 1. to describe synthesis review service models provided by Canadian academic libraries; 2. to understand the strengths, and challenges (and, where possible, solutions) of these models. A targeted sample of Canadian academic librarians was recruited via email distribution through discussion lists of the Canadian Health Libraries Association/Association des bibliothéques de la santé du Canada (CANMEDLIB), the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada Libraries Group (AFMCLIB), and the CARL Librarian Research Institute (LibrarianResCanL) listservs . The data are de-identified responses to the survey.
