Call
for Applications: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice
Evidence Summaries Writers
EBLIP seeks to add writers to the Evidence Summaries Team. Evidence
Summaries provide critical appraisal syntheses for specific research
articles. These research synopses provide readers with information
regarding the original research article's validity and reliability, thus
providing information on the presence or absence of evidence with which to make
informed decisions. Evidence Summaries Team members are required to
write two evidence summaries per year, with a two year commitment to the
journal. Evidence Summaries cover all areas of library and information
studies and we encourage applications from information professionals in areas
such as school, public, and special libraries, as well as academic settings.
Interested persons should send a statement of interest, indicating areas of
strength they would bring to the role, as well as a brief resume to Lorie Kloda
(Associate Editor, Evidence Summaries) at [log in to unmask] by
September 15, 2009. Applicants who are shortlisted will be asked to
submit a sample evidence summary
**Please note that Evidence Based Library and Information Practice is a
non-profit, open access journal and all positions are voluntary and unpaid. The
positions are an excellent opportunity for continuing professional development
and gaining experience in reviewing or critically appraising library related
research.
**Only those applicants who are selected or shortlisted will be contacted by
the Editors.
