Call for Peer Reviewers: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice
Editorial Advisors (Peer Reviewers)
Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP)*
is looking to add approximately ten *Editorial Advisors (peer reviewers)
*to our team. We are especially interested in expressions of interest from
those working in public, special, school, or non-library settings, and
from those with demonstrated knowledge of research methods.* * Specific responsibilities of editorial advisors include:
- Contributing
to the overall success of the journal by providing unbiased, fair,
and timely reviews of submissions that are assigned.
- Serving a two
year term.
- Communicating
with the Editorial Board about areas where the journal could improve.
- Promoting *EBLIP*
as an avenue of publication to colleagues.
Interested persons should send a statement of interest,
indicating areas of strength they would bring to the role, as well as a brief
resume to Alison Brettle, Editor-in-Chief at *a.brettle@salford.ac.uk* by July

**Please note that *Evidence Based Library and
Information Practice* is a non-profit, open access journal and all positions are
voluntary and unpaid. The positions are an excellent opportunity for continuing
professional development and gaining experience in reviewing or
critically appraising library related research.
**Only those applicants who are selected or shortlisted

About the journal: Published quarterly by the University of Alberta, this
peer-reviewed, open
access journal is targeted at all library and information
professionals interested in an evidence based model of practice. By facilitating access to librarianship research via original research articles
and evidence summaries of relevant research from the library
literature, *Evidence Based Library and Information Practice* will enable librarians
to practice their profession in an evidence based manner.
