Navigating the Evidence Base

Navigating the Evidence Base: Planning and Delivering Effective Library Services

This brand new half-day workshop is designed to allow health librarians to experience for themselves the practical realities of Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP). Working in small groups, organised around common library scenarios, participants will follow the five steps of a revised Evidence Based Practice process (named “EBLIP Five Point Zero” following the EBLIP5 Conference in Stockholm, 2009); Articulate, Acquire, Assess, Agree and Adapt. Essentially a team process, in contrast to the individual practitioner model favoured by evidence based medicine, this variant is best experienced rather than simply observed.

This course aims to provide only a brief narrative commentary from the presenter linking participants through the five stages of EBLIP Five Point Zero, supported by follow-up resources, tools and references to further reading. This leaves the focus on experiential learning in rapidly-constituted action learning sets. In this way the course, which requires no previous knowledge of evidence based library and information practice (although a basic grasp of evidence based healthcare may be useful), will simulate how teams of librarians make evidence based decisions in the workplace. Practical benefits of the course will include a broad perspective of the potential offered by EBLIP, a realistic experience of the process and a transferable model for adoption in the participants’ own libraries.

Course Outline:

Charting the EBLIP Process
Articulating Your Question
Acquiring Disparate Evidence
Assessing the Evidence Base
Agreeing a Plan of Action
Adapting and Adopting
The Journey Travelled

Web 2.0 : the empowerment of the Librarian (and the User)

An empowerment session called "Web 2.0" promises to look into Web 2.0 possibilities in relation to librarianship. Of course best practices, opportunities and limitations are a good part of this session, as well as a look at the exciting tools involving EAHIL.

But should we use this term Web 2.0 any longer? The students and the younger staff members are brought up with Web Technologies. They don't see Web 2.0 as a seperate phenomenon, but as intergrated features. They use them, just because they are there. What role can / should the library play inside an organisation regarding availability of and access to web technologies?

The session will be finished off with a glance at emerging technologies and the possible relevance for libraries.

As Web 2.0 revolves all around communication, sharing and interaction your input in this session is needed to discuss and exchange experiences within our EAHIL community.
