Abstract Evidence Based Library & Information Practice (EBLIP) is a way of using the best research to solve practical problems in the library. This session will cover the fundamentals of EBLIP, along with possible applications." Evidence-Based Librarianship is an approach to information science that promotes the collection, interpretation and integration of valid, important and applicable user-reported, librarian observed, and research-derived evidence. The best available evidence, moderated by user needs and preferences, is applied to improve the quality of professional judgements"(Booth & Brice, 2004). Evidence-Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP) evolved from the evidence-based medicine (EBM) movement which is a systematic way to review an d apply the medical literature to medical practice. EBM began to find its way into other health disciplines and eventually was applied to health sciences librarianship and then to librarianship as a whole.
