“…By substituting the word "patient" with "user" in this list of core traits we could readily apply the same list to the professional traits of library and information practitioners. These studies suggest that while national or cultural variations might exist (Booth & Eldredge, 2010), it still appears then that there might be sufficient commonalities for discussing professions across time and cultural contexts.…”

“…Various findings have been reported on the adoption level including determinants and barriers in the implementation. Support from management has been found to be the main determinant in the adoption of evidence-based practice among nurses (Brown, Wickline and Ecoff 2009), while librarians' skills and knowledge were reported to be important for adoption of evidence-based information practice (Booth and Eldredge 2010;Cooter and Lewis 2006;Gerrish, Ashworth and Lacey 2007;Mohamad Bahtiar, Abd Manaf and Mohamed Shuhidan 2017).…”

“…Despite all the promising notions of the practice, Booth (2011) highlights the barriers and facilitators in the overall implementation of EBL across library practice. Diversity in the barriers and determinants were reported (Bexon 2005;Booth and Eldredge 2010;Koufogiannakis and Crumley 2006;Lerdal 2006;Pretty 2007) including organizational support which includes lack of management support (Booth and Eldredge 2010;Cooter and Lewis 2006), lack of incentives from leadership (Dalrymple 2013) and need for skills/training (Booth and Brice 2007;Booth and Eldredge 2010). It can be assumed that both contributing factors and barriers are consistent throughout the research context regardless of the geographical settings.…”

Evidence-based librarianship (EBL) has been in the literature for around 20 years, and has received a mixed level of acceptance and adoption in its implementation. The purpose of this study is to identify the determinants of EBL adoption and implementation in library acquisition decision of electronic resources. The Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) model, Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT) theory and EBL model were used to form the research framework in order to investigate the adoption and implementation of evidence-based acquisition (EBA). Questionnaires were used as data collection tool. Data were collected from 250 respondents comprising librarians from academic, public and special libraries. The data were analyzed descriptively using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) v24. The assessment of the measurement and structural model was executed using Smart-PLS (SEM) 3.0. The reflective model was found to be valid and reliable with the Cronbach’s Alpha above 0.70, CR value and AVE of 0.80-0.90. Fornell-Larcker Criterion and Item Cross-loading recordings revealed that the constructs did not discriminate each other. Path coefficient analysis was performed to test the hypothesis in the identification of significant relationship that resulted in Relative Advantage, Compatibility and Top Management Support as the determinants of EBA of electronic resources Although no significant relationship was found between EBL Adoption and Implementation, an indication of practice was recorded in the level of implementation analysis. Further action and future research for libraries were suggested.

This paper reports on a scoping review commissioned as a research scan by the CILIP Library and Information Research Group (LIRG) and undertaken by a small research team at the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) at the University of Sheffield. Firstly the recent literature (2010-2012) on LIS practitioner-focused research was identified and briefly reviewed. This was supplemented by an entities scan; that is, a brief scan of key outputs (e.g. newsletters, discussion lists, etcetera) produced by CILIP specialist interest groups (SIGS). The team identified a total of 142 relevant papers. These were coded and characterised against relevant frameworks. A brief selection of items in each category was reviewed. The paper concludes by suggesting priorities to improve practitioner research at practitioner, organisational and strategic level. Particular attention was focused on the stimulation of collaborative “hive” research activities and on monitoring existing good practice from other groups, associations and countries.
