EBLIP seeks to add four 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 articles' 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 March 20, 2012. 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.
About the journal:
Published quarterly by the University of Alberta, this peer reviewed, open
access journal is targeted at all library and information professionals
interested in an evidence based model of practice. By facilitating access
to library and information studies research via original research articles and
evidence summaries of relevant research from the library literature, Evidence Based Library and Information
Practice enables information professionals to practice their profession in
an evidence-based manner.
Please visit the Evidence Based Library
and Information Practice website (http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/EBLIP) for
