School Libraries and Evidence-based Practice: An Integrated Approach to Evidence

Abstract

A professional focus on evidence-based librarianship (EBL) has emerged over the last decade. It has been taken up by many sectors in library and information work, and even a cursory search of subscription and open databases will show scholarly interest in and effect of evidence-based practice in areas such as medical librarianship, law librarianship, public librarianship and special librarinship.
