University Libraries Section (ULS): About Our Discussion Groups

The Evidence-Based Practices Discussion Group offers a forum for librarians and other information professionals to discuss any of the following as a community:

• Research-based decision-making in professional practice
• Practical decisions that have been based on research studies
• How to establish evidence-based practices based on a very thorough search of the literature and a very thorough selection and analysis of the retrieved literature

The Evidence-Based Practices Discussion Group usually has four members. See current discussion group roster.

Plan agendas for discussion group meetings on a yearly basis by determining topic and format. Agendas for previous conference meetings have included a call sent out on relevant e-mail distribution lists for proposals to present a topic and lead a discussion, optionally followed by a convener-led group discussion.

A current list of upcoming and past programs can be found on the ULS website.
