Health sciences librarians play a critical role in supporting evidence synthesis, mostly systematic and scoping reviews. This paper reflects on the author's decade of evidence synthesis services (2015-2025). During this time, the author provided extensive support to the health sciences researchers, faculty, students, and staff at a large research university through consultation and collaboration on systematic and scoping reviews. The author discusses the roles undertaken, practice guidelines adhered to, information sources frequently searched, SR tools utilized, challenges encountered, and lessons learned throughout the experiences. The paper concludes with some recommendations for enhancing systematic review services in health sciences libraries.
