Partnership development of the COVID-19 Front Door: a best evidence resource.

This project describes the creation of a single searchable resource during the pandemic, called the COVID-19 Best Evidence Front Door, with a primary goal of providing direct access to high-quality meta-analyses, literature syntheses, and clinical guidelines from a variety of trusted sources. The Front Door makes relevant evidence findable and accessible with a single search to aggregated evidence-based resources, optimizing time, discovery, and improved access to quality scientific evidence while reducing the burden of frontline health care providers and other knowledge-seekers in needing to separately identify, locate, and explore multiple websites.

Flipping the classroom to teach systematic reviews: the development of a continuing education course for librarians.

OBJECTIVE: The researchers used the flipped classroom model to develop and conduct a systematic review course for librarians. SETTING: The research took place at an academic health sciences library. METHOD: A team of informationists developed and conducted a pilot course. Assessment informed changes to both course components; a second course addressed gaps in the pilot. MAIN RESULTS: Both the pilot and subsequent course received positive reviews. Changes based on assessment data will inform future iterations. CONCLUSION: The flipped classroom model can be successful in developing and implementing a course that is well rated by students.
