Evidence Based Library and Information Practice announces new Associate Editor

The journal Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP) is pleased to announce that Scott Walter has joined the Editorial Team as an Associate Editor. Scott is the Associate University Librarian for Services and Associate Dean of Libraries at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He brings a wealth of experience to our team, having served on the boards of several LIS journals. He is actively involved in professional activities, notably with the Association of College & Research Libraries, and he has an extensive record of publishing his own research. Scott will be responsible for Classics and a new section called Using Evidence in Practice.

The new Using Evidence in Practice section of the journal features brief reports of LIS practitioners' use of evidence to assist with decision making. The section follows a structured format to report practical implementations of an evidence based approach to tackling workplace problems. Have you followed an evidence based approach in your daily work? Have you begun a new project and incorporated assessment to measure outcomes and success? Have you tried to incorporate evidence but not had any success? All of these scenarios lend themselves to a retelling that may benefit others. Please consider writing about your experience and submitting it to EBLIP.

For questions about the Using Evidence in Practice section of EBLIP, please contact Scott Walter, Associate Editor at swalter@illinois.edu.

EBLIP is a peer reviewed, open access journal published quarterly by the University of Alberta Learning Services, using the OJS Software. The purpose of the journal is to provide a forum for librarians and other information professionals to discover research that may contribute to decision making in professional practice. EBLIP publishes original research and commentary on the topic of evidence based library and information practice, as well as reviews of previously published research (evidence summaries) on a wide number of topics.
