The 7th International Evidence
Based Library and Information Practice conference (EBLIP7) is just a few weeks
away! Preparations are being made to welcome the international EBLIP community
to Saskatoon, SK, Canada. There are a few of things to make note of at this
time:


 


	The registration deadline for EBLIP7 is
     Tuesday, July 2, 2013. Register online at http://eblip7.library.usask.ca/#registration/index .
	EBLIP7 Lightning Strikes! Lightning Strikes
     are short presentations on the topic “How I’ve been inspired by EBLIP.”
     Speakers have 5 minutes and 20 slides. However, the slides automatically
     advance every 15 second! The Lightning Strikes plenary event will be held
     Thursday, July 18 at 9:45am. There’s nothing too serious here, though. We
     want your stories, your perspective, and a broad interpretation of the
     topic. There is still room available to present your own Lightning Strikes
     talk. Contact Virginia Wilson to sign up: virginia.wilson@usask.ca The Lightning Strikes sign up deadline
     is June 21.
	What’s a hootenanny? Well, the Evidence
     Based Hootenanny is the EBLIP7 conference banquet. We’ll be traveling by
     bus outside of the Saskatoon city limits to a Saskatchewan farm. There,
     we’ll dine in rural splendor, draw for door prizes, and enjoy a prairie
     sunset. Dress code is casual; enjoyment is guaranteed.
	The Centre for Evidence Based Library and
     Information Practice (C-EBLIP) will see its grand opening during EBLIP7.
     C-EBLIP is a newly established research centre based at the University
     Library, University of Saskatchewan. Its focus is supporting librarians as
     researchers and promoting evidence based library and information practice.
     



 


EBLIP7,
