The Evolving Model of EBLIP in Research and Practice

Abstract

Description

In our 2016 book, Being Evidence Based in Library and Information Practice, we outlined a revised model for evidence-based library and information practice (EBLIP) across different types of libraries. This model focused on flexible aspects that could guide library and information professionals toward being evidence based. The model was grounded in research and further informed by specific examples arising in practice. We posited that being evidence based is a mindset in which librarians actively reflect on their practice. The model involves questioning our practice, gathering or creating evidence where needed, and continually striving to improve practice by thoughtfully and critically incorporating evidence into decision-making.
