Details
Significant findings from Australian studies within the contexts of school, public and academic libraries help us understand how we can shift from “doing” to “being” evidence based library professionals. I will explore what a mature evidence based library might like and how “being” evidence based practice can contribute to achieving your library’s goals and outcomes.
