Special Workshop

SDSU Library is offering a Systematic Review Workshop that will give an overview of how to conduct a systematic review or scoping review for publication, or a systematized/comprehensive review for a thesis, dissertation, or capstone project. 

This workshop will cover:

  • developing a research question,
  • deciding on a search strategy,
  • managing and screening citations,
  • when to consider quality assessment,
  • data extraction ideas,
  • reporting your search methodology.

The workshop will be conducted online, Thursday, March 21 from 3-4:30 pm. The workshop will be recorded. A recording will be sent to all who register. Register here.

Welcome

If you have questions or need to meet about a research project, feel free to email me or book a Zoom consultation using the buttons below my photo to the left.  Or use the chat box that slides in from the right to ask more general questions.

Margaret Henderson and Ashley Wilson have recent received a Collection Equity and Outreach Award from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine Region 5. Books in this collection reflect health and wellness topics, specifically in underrepresented populations. It includes fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, and poetry representing diverse people, illnesses, and other health related concerns. Please take a look at the collection and come to the Library to check out the books.

 
 

Helpful Library Information

In order to access our thousands of electronic resources - including journal articles and library computer stations - you must register for an SDSUid.

You can access our eJournals from off-campus by always going through the library website to search databases (even Google Scholar) and signing in with your SDSUid.

There are multiple places to pay-for-print in the library:

  • 24/7 Area
  • Library Computing Hub (2nd floor of Love)
  • Research Services (1st floor of Dome)

Printing is 10¢ for black and white and 45¢ for color. B&W is default, so you wil have to change the printer to color in the print settings page.

You can print from your own computer by sending an email, but this is B&W ONLY. The steps to print in the library are outlined on the Print Webpage.

The Print, Copy, Scan & Fax Page also details where copiers, scanners, and fax machines can be found in the library and their cost.

Adding money to your SDSU card can be done at the Aztec Markets, via credit card online, or at DART machines located throughout the library.

  • DART machines take BILLS only. There are bill changers in 24/7 and the Library Computing Hub.

There are multiple ways to request and borrow materials at the library. ​The library website has information on Loan Periods.

  • Checkout a book or bound periodical from our collection at the circulation desk
    • checkout media and media equipment from the Media Center
  • Request a book from a local library via Circuit
  • Request items not in our catalog or Circuit via InterLibrary Loan (ILL)

Course Reserves can be checked out from the Circulation Desk and used for a defined period of time (typically 2-3 hours).

Special Collections are located on the 4th floor of the Library Addition and do not circulate.
