How better to promote your new plans/projects than by being able to produce
the best available evidence in support of your proposals! This workshop is
a must for all those who are interested in promoting best practice in
librarianship .... and there are only a few places left!
"Evidence-based librarianship (EBL) is an approach to information practice
that promotes the collection, interpretation and integration of valid,
important and applicable user-reported, librarian observed, and research-
derived evidence. The best available evidence, moderated by user needs and
preferences, is applied to improve the quality of professional judgements."
