The Canadian Library Association (CLA) 

announces a new Network. The Evidence-

Based Library and Information Practice 

Network (EBLIPN), previously an Interest 

Group, was recently approved by the CLA 

Executive Council.   

 

Networks are established by and for CLA 

members, and allow grass roots action in a 

particular focus area broadly related to library 

and information practice. The goals of EBLIPN 

are: 

 

1. To represent the interests of librarians 

involved in evidence-based 

librarianship (EBL) and library related 

research. 

2. To organize continuing education 

opportunities for librarians in this 

area. 

3. To provide a means of communication 

between librarians involved in 

evidence-based librarianship. 

4. To assist librarians with the dissemination 

of library research utilizing an 

evidence-based model. 

 

EBLIPN has an active email list which offers 

members the opportunity to communicate, 

share ideas, and disseminate knowledge 

regarding EBL and library related research.  

The list is a great way to keep current on EBL 

related events, workshops, sessions, and 

conferences. The Network also plans an EBL-

related wiki and a research award. 

 

EBLIPN is currently seeking members.  If you 

are interested please contact the CLA Office at 

membership@cla.ca and keep watching for the 

new EBLIPN webpage.  Or you may contact 

Network moderators at the addresses below. 

Moderators: Trina Fyfe (fyfet@unbc.ca) and
