At NC State University Libraries we are looking at how to better
support systematic reviews. I want share some of what we're doing
especially around bulk ILL requests and then ask if anyone else has
experience supporting systematic reviews.

We have some faculty using Covidence to manage systematic reviews. A
time consuming part to the current workflow is getting full text
articles for everything. Endnote can be configured with Libraries
services to get PDFs for many works, but not all. The references
missing full text get routed through ILL for delivery and then
uploaded to the systematic review application Covidence, but this can
often be very many publications and a manual process. In order to
scale our services we've developed a prototype application which can
take the references lacking full text and route them through ILLiad.
Once they're delivered to ILLiad the application then collects the
PDFs and packages them in such a way that they more easily import into
Covidence matching the correct reference there. We're calling this
prototype Bulk ILL, Y'all (or BILLY). While the initial use case is
supporting systematic reviews, we imagine there might be other use
cases for making ILL requests in bulk and delivering them
appropriately as a group.

Does your library do similar bulk ILL processes? What are the use
cases you have?

Is your library supporting systematic reviews? What type of support
are you offering?

Who is involved with retrieving full text articles? Have you automated
aspects of the document process to make it less time-consuming? What
other automation have you added into your systematic review support?

Does your library offer researchers access to systematic review
screening and data extraction software via a university license? If
so, what systematic review tool or tools does your library support
during the screening and data extraction phase of systematic reviews?

Thank you for anything that you can share on these topics.

Best,

Jason
