Research led libraries and evidence based practice
This collaborate held workshop looked at the issue of evidence based practice (EBP) and the role EBP can play in libraries. One particular example that was provided was in relation to a library within a school. I was daunted by the amount of work that went into the report outlining what research was being conducted and why EBP should be introduced in this particular case. I was also amazed at the number of considerations that were made including alignment with the library and school's mission and the goals that were hoped to be achieved from the research. I was interested to learn that EBP requires a holistic approach in this instance and would vary from organisation to organisation.
Through this workshop I understand the importance of EBP to the LIS profession and why it assists in ensuring that the service that is provided caters for all parties concerned. I'll be interested to see how this technique develops and whether the reasons for its implementation change over time or become fewer or greater.
