Who We Are

We are an international group of librarians passionate about systematic searching. We are building a living freely available Library of Search Strategy Resources (LSSR). Our aim is to help those searching for health literature to source and build search strategies. This resource also contains additional information to enhance literature searching skills. 

Consider adding a link to our resource in your library guides to help more people access it.
