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.
