EBL: the View from Down Under
Presented by Sue Fahey – Librarian. Health Sciences Library. Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Sue’s presentation provided an Australian perspective of EBL, or Evidence Based Librarianship. While in Australia, Sue interviewed local librarians to find out their views on EBL, EBIP, EBP, or whatever their preferred term was. Sue included breathtaking pictures of the landscape and audio files of the interviews which were both uniquely Australian.
