Popis: We always say we should advance to our future on an evidence-based path. We have been talking about evidence-based librarianship (EBL) since at least 2000. The goal of evidence-based practice in both medicine and librarianship is to improve professional decision making [1]. EBL improves librarianship by incorporating evidence into daily practice. In 2000, Eldredge wrote: Every day health sciences librarians, like their colleagues in other health care specialties, make numerous decisions. These decisions range from the critical to the mundane...EBL offers a possible framework for making these decisions under conditions of uncertainty by providing a system for evaluating different forms of research evidence. [2] We can probably all agree that EBL is essential, that it is based on good research, and that venues such as the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) are important for communicating good research. That is why, as a big stakeholder in research, I present three ideas that might strengthen our EBL path even more.
