The 8th International Evidence Based Library and Information Practice Conference (EBLIP8) committee is calling for submissions for both papers and posters.  The conference is being held in Brisbane, Australia from July 6-9 2015.

The theme of this conference evidence and practice: working together reflects our focus on narrowing the gap between practice and evidence and in promoting evidence based practice in all parts of the information profession.  Evidence based library and information practice (EBLIP), once based on the medical paradigm, is changing and evolving. We are developing practices and processes particular to the library and information profession and reconfiguring the traditional evidence based philosophy to suit individual circumstances and locations. Collaboration across institutions and sectors is fundamental to learning through sharing experiences, publication of quality research results, and a sustainable and connected EBLIP community.

Submission of abstracts closes October 13, 2014. Find out more at: http://eblip8.info/call-for-contributions/

Many thanks,

Clare Thorpe

On behalf of the EBLIP8 committee
