Review
(Judy Solberg Library Journal)
A timely and useful guide, Being Evidence Based in Library and Information Practice demonstrates both the model for Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP) and different library settings for development of this ongoing research practice. It is an extremely useful guide for developing evidence-based library improvements and a lifetime of professional growth.
(ARBA)
Although ‘being evidence based is not a simple thing’, this book is essential reading to all librarians looking to develop advocacy skills and make informed decisions in the information world as it exists today. (Louise Auckland Alexandria)
The entire book is clearly written, free of jargon (or jargon is explained succinctly), and engaging. Each chapter builds on previous chapters, and the chapters in Part 2 track back appropriately to the explanatory chapters in Part 1. If you are interested in becoming a researcher–practitioner, or in integrating data into your decision-making processes for your library, this book will be quite useful. The book also could be complementary to an introductory textbook on research methods for information professionals looking to grow these skills.
(Lee Ann Fullington Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship)
Koufogiannakis and Brettle have written and edited one of the most essential books on librarianship in the last several years. They present a clear and strong case for why librarians of all settings need to integrate EBP into their workflow...The reader can gather some great ideas on starting to use EBLIP in their own practice. This book is highly recommended reading for all experience levels and types of librarianship. (Abraham Wheeler Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries)
It is hard to imagine that more qualified authors exist for this topic than Koufogiannakis and Brettle. Upcoming and new professionals would be wise to read this book, whereas more seasoned professionals are more likely readers and implementers of the concepts presented.
(Kathleen A. Lehman Technicalities)
How do we make the case that a library tangibly impacts the communities it serves in order to secure funding? How do we maintain, improve, reimagine, or expand a library’s services, as appropriate? In Being Evidence Based in Library and Information Practice, editors Denise Koufogiannakis and Alison Brettle make a convincing case that we do so by grounding our professional practice and organizational decision making in evidence...Library administrators will find Being Evidence Based in Library and Information Practice useful for guiding organizational decision making. For library and information science faculty and graduate students, it will be a strong complement to any research methods curriculum. However, this book will resonate most strongly with practitioners who find it rewarding not only to perform the essential work of their library, but also to apply their curiosity and creativity to figuring out how better to do the work.
(Chelcie Juliet Rowell Technical Services Quaterly)
Koufogiannakis and Brettle present an excellent overview of the history and evolution of library evidence-based practice along with the current state of EBLIP. The model they have presented is demonstrated to be usable across the library spectrum. This work is highly recommended.
(Claire B. Joseph, MS, MA, AHIP Journal of the Medical Library Association)
