The application of evidence-based practice is more effective when discussions and readings are recorded for later consultation (as also argued by Vilelle and Young).25 As found in Pearce-Smith’s survey, journal club participation was reported to increase librarians’ capacity for understanding and conducting research.26 Vilelle and Young’s findings on organizational benefits of journal club participa- tion were further expanded in the present study, offering concrete examples of how journal clubs can help to build a “research culture” and fuel further action within the organization.27 As indicated in previous surveys on the impacts of journal club participation,28 some respondents did not attribute journal club participation to changes in their practice or benefits for their users.	cache/crl-16735.pdf	txt/crl-16735.txt
