Librarians at Central Michigan University (CMU) Libraries and CMU’s Covenant HealthCare College of Medicine collaborated to summarize, categorize, and publicize the evidence synthesis and systematic review services available to CMU students, faculty, residents and medical education partners, resulting in the creation of a 3-tier service model and accompanying LibGuide. In addition to informing patrons, this formalization allows librarians to proactively set clear boundaries around a growing service to help prevent current and future burnout.

Learning Objective(s): ​​​​1) Evaluate 3-tier model for evidence synthesis support, including request form for advanced support; 2) Learn how librarians with little/no systematic review experience/in non-health areas can still support constituents? evidence synthesis efforts; 3) Understand how formalizations of services can help librarians manage expectations, minimize stress, and prevent burnout; and 4) Apply a similar model of evidence synthesis support at attendees’ home institutions.
