Call for papers on evidence based library and information practice

The Evidence Based Library and Information Practice Conference (EBLIP4) is calling for the submission of papers and posters to be presented at its upcoming meeting.

EBLIP4 is an international event that has emerged in response to the growing interest among all types of libraries in using the best available research-based evidence to improve information practice. The conference will be held on May 6-9 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and will be followed by two days of CE. The conference provides a forum for the presentation of high quality papers and posters as well as examples of how EBLIP is being implemented in library and information settings around the globe.

EBLIP4 invites submissions for contributed papers and posters including both original research and innovative applications of EBLIP in library and information management. Papers that deal with library support of evidence-based practice in other fields such as health, social work and public policy are also welcome.

Important dates for paper submission are as follows:

• January 8: Submission deadline for abstracts for papers and posters
• February 11: Final decisions for accepted papers
• February 15: Final decisions for accepted posters
• March 15: Submission deadline for full papers
