Summary:

This case study explores the experiences and decision-making involved in conducting a scoping review to identify literature regarding the benefits and shortcomings of using academic library research guides as a teaching tool. It highlights the time-consuming nature of scoping reviews due to both their breadth and challenges of synthesizing heterogeneous study characteristics, as well as the necessity of following rigorous methodological protocols. Additionally, the study examines the specific stages of the review process, pinpointing which are time-intensive and which can be expedited. This case study will be useful for researchers and practitioners aiming to understand and realistically plan for the time commitment required to conduct a scoping review. Readers will also learn about the intricacies of the scoping review process and gain practical insights to apply in their own research. [This content is provided in the format of an e-book.].
