Call for Applications: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice
Evidence Summaries Writers
EBLIP seeks to add five 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 article's 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 resumé to Heather
Pretty (Associate Editor, Evidence Summaries) hjpretty@mun.ca by January 15, 2016. 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
