The Evidence Based Library and Information Practice Conference (EBLIP4) is an exciting international event that has emerged in response to the growing interest among all types of libraries in using the best available evidence to improve information practice.

The conference on May 6-9, 2007 will feature themed sessions on evidence-based practice in academic libraries, school library media, healthcare, special libraries, and evidence-based methodology. Two days of continuing education will follow. The conference provides a forum for the presentation of high quality papers and posters as well as examples of how EBLIP is being implemented in library and information settings around the globe.

Poster abstracts are still welcome at this time. Full instructions to authors may be found on the Call for Submissions page.
