Interesting exploratory study about searching the international HTA database, and practical implications for SR searchers. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/cesm.12034

I'm having Web of Science Core Collection issues. I searched "aging" in the title field, used quotation marks, and even enabled the "exact searching" function, and yet I am still getting titles that do not include the word "aging". It always worked before, but not today. Why is this happening? Have you #medlibs come across this recently?

Working on translating a #SearchFilter from a database on one interface to the same database on a different interface - wow have I learned alot! Strangely, I've used both options before, & yet there was a lot I did not know that I now know. #SRLibrarianProblems #SystematicReview #ExpertSearching

“#medlibs #expertsearching 🧵 I'm working on grey lit searches and thought I'd share some US-government specific or adjacent sources that not everyone may be aware of that I've found really useful.”

To what extent could such a former librarian keep contributing to rigorous, impactful #EvidenceSynthesis #SystematicReviews on the side?

- how would you find collaborators, domain experts who need #ExpertSearching + who will carry out high-quality projects?
- how long would your skills be relevant? Best practices are a moving target; working alone (ie w/out other #medlibs), it would be hard to keep up
- you hear about "independent scholars" in fields like history + art, not public health
