Evidence Based Library and Information Practice 

(EBLIP) is a peer reviewed, open access 

journal, which provides a forum for librarians 

and other information professionals to 

discover research that may contribute to 

decision making in professional practice. 

EBLIP is published quarterly by the University 

of Alberta Learning Services. EBLIP publishes 

original research and commentary on the topic 

of evidence based library and information 

practice, as well as reviews of previously 

published research (evidence summaries) on a 

wide number of topics. 

 

EBLIP seeks submissions for the following 

sections: 
 

 Classics: Contributions to the 

“Classics” section follow a structured 

format designed to highlight, 

summarize, and critically appraise 

research studies that stood the test of 

time and continue to have an impact 

on library and information practice.   

 

 Commentaries: Commentaries are 

opinion pieces on a topic related to 

evidence based practice. This is a non 

peer-reviewed section. 

 

 Review Articles: Review articles 

provide a way for librarians to obtain 

an overview of the evidence on a 

particular topic, and stay current with 

the literature. 

 

 Using Evidence in Practice: The 

“Using Evidence in Practice” section 

features brief reports of LIS 

practitioners' use of evidence to assist 

with decision making. This is a non-

peer reviewed section.
