The Library of Search Strategies Resources (LSSR) website is an open access resource for anyone sourcing and developing search strategies for health science related topics. While there are many sites and repositories that provide access to filters and hedges on the web (i.e. ISSG) to help with the duplication of efforts and topical overlaps, sometimes they are difficult to find and/or not immediately accessible to the public.

With this in mind, the purpose of the LSSR is to provide searchers access to a comprehensive and centralized resource of dispersed resources for search filter development. The "Collections" page lists databases and collections (i.e. ISSG) where users can find search filters that they can adapt and integrate into their needs. The LSSR also contains links to free online tools, quality assurance resources, learning resources that users can use to support search strategy development. The LSSR is a resource designed to assist searchers at any stage of the search filter development process.

The LSSR was developed by an international team of librarians passionate about searching. With representation from Canada, United States, Western Europe, and other parts of the world, our aim is to create a resource for a global audience. Future projects for the LSSR include building strategic partnerships professional organizations; monitoring emerging technologies; and creating communities of practice to assist with the development of new and innovative content.
