New Online: Evidence-Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP) – strut the catwalk to reveal your inner supermodel

New Online, Paper and Presentation: Evidence-Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP) – strut the catwalk to reveal your inner supermodel
by Lisa Cotter and Mary Grimmond (2006)
In: Proceedings ALIA New Librarians' Symposium 2006

From the abstract:

By showcasing the possibilities and benefits of evidence based library and information practice (EBLIP), this presentation hopes to entice delegates to do “a little turn on the catwalk”, modelling EBLIP. Unless you are too sexy for your study, a $10000 grant is not necessary to make it worth getting out of bed and involved with research. Practitioners can dress up daily decision making with research literature at virtually no cost. EBLIP is not in the exclusive domain of “researchers”, nor just the high-flyers with special project funding. It is a tool that can be applied by library practitioners, as both consumers and producers of research, within the scope of normal library operations. EBLIP promotes best practice in the workplace while also providing valuable opportunities for professional development. It encourages decision making to be based upon the best available evidence, embodying a cycle where research is found, appraised, used, and evaluated. By incorporating EBLIP, projects involving routine activities carried out in libraries every day may be offered up as a “supermodel” - an exemplar to be inspired by and learn from, to critique, and to copy.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
