Salford,
UK to Host 6th
International Evidence Based Library and Information Practice Conference in
2011
EBLIP6, the sixth in
a series of successful International Conferences to promote evidence based
approaches to library and information practice will take place in Salford,
Greater Manchester, United Kingdom in Summer 2011. A team
based in
Manchester
and its environs successfully competed against three other high quality
expressions of interest from around the world to secure a unanimously favourable
verdict.
Sheffield,
England,
November
30th 2009 -- The International Advisory
Committee (IAC) for the International Evidence Based Library and Information
Practice Conference Series [1] awarded the EBLIP6 Conference to the
Salford bid [2], coordinated by
Dr. Alison Brettle and Maria
Grant of the
University
of Salford.
Competing against high quality expressions of interest from
Canada,
the Middle East and elsewhere
in the United
Kingdom,
Salford performed strongly
against all the rigorous evaluation criteria.
This is the first time that an open
competition has been used to select the successful hosting site. Criteria for
selection included the location, facilities, regional and national support, the
strength of the organising team and unique selling points.
Salford achieved a first place ranking from
each of the five voting members on the IAC [3]. In particular
Salford was commended for the “strength of
its local organising committee and the overall extent of national and regional
support”.
Andrew Booth, Reader in Evidence
Based Information Practice at the University of Sheffield, Convenor for the IAC, stated that
“the International Advisory Committee is mindful of a continuing need to branch
out to a wider international community. At the same time the responsibility to
support an already active concentration of those involved in EBLIP remains
fundamental to the ongoing success of the movement. These considerations,
coupled with the undoubted quality of the four bids made our decision very
challenging. Ultimately, however, the case for the Salford bid was an irresistibly compelling
one”.
Welcoming the Committee’s
decision Dr. Alison Brettle, Chair of the Local Organising Committee and one of
only four participants to have attended all five Conferences to date, said “It
is great to see such positive comments”. She described how
Maria
Grant,
herself and the Salford
team [4] would keep these comments in mind as they tackled “the hard work that
lies ahead”.
"This is a wonderful and
exciting prospect” enthused Biddy Fisher, current Vice President and President
Designate for 2010 of CILIP, the UK Chartered Institute for Library and
Information Professionals. She continued: “I will do all I can to assist the
bid….in my official capacity, as EBP is an underlying theme in my Presidential
Manifesto”.

About the EBLIP
Conference Series:
The EBLIP Conference is a
biennial conference designed to promote the use of best available evidence to
improve library and information practice in all types of libraries and to thus
address issues around inequitable use of resources, unacceptable provision of
services and ineffective comprehension and use of information that continue to
plague human society. It aims to bring together practitioners, researchers and
students involved in critical and reflective information practice to think
through new ways to address contemporary issues of evidence based practice in
less isolated, more collaborative, ways. The first EBL(IP) Conference took place
in Sheffield,
UK
in 2001. The success of this conference led to four further conferences in
Edmonton
(Canada,
2003),
Brisbane
(Australia,
2005), Chapel Hill
(USA,
2007) and
Stockholm
(Sweden,
2009).
