October is National Medical Librarians Month! Do you know all that your librarian can do for you? Our informationists at the WHSC Library can provide expert searching; training and instruction on searching, citation management, information literacy, and more; and can collaborate with researchers on evidence synthesis projects like systematic and scoping reviews. 
Evidence synthesis projects are intense, months-long endeavors to answer critical health sciences questions. Librarians provide expertise in searching the literature and evidence synthesis methodologies. Over the past year, our informationists have coauthored 13 publications alongside our Emory faculty, staff, and students. For a full list of WHSC Library staff publications, click here.
