À propos

Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP) est une revue à comité de lecture en libre accès publiée trimestriellement par les services d'apprentissage de l'Université de l'Alberta à l'aide du logiciel OJS. Sa mission est d'offrir aux bibliothécaires et aux autres professionnel·le·s de l'information un lieu d'échange où découvrir des travaux de recherches qui peuvent nourrir les processus décisionnels dans leur pratique professionnelle. EBLIP publie d'une part des études originales et des articles commentant sur les pratiques fondées sur des données probantes qu'on retrouve en bibliothèque et dans les sciences de l'information. D'autre part, elle contient des revues rapides de la littérature scientifique (evidence summaries) sur un grand nombre de sujets.

Evidence Based Library and Information Practice began its quarterly publication schedule in March 2006. Issues are released on the 15th of March, June, September, and December.
