CILIP RESEARCH & EVIDENCE BASE – ASPIRATION
Now that we have clear evidence of sector
demand for a Research and Evidence Base, CILIP
is moving forward with three connected actions:
1. The establishment of a Research Coalition,
bringing together academics and employers to
develop a common Research Framework
2. Fundraising for a pilot initiative to develop
‘test cases’ – small Evidence Bases to address
specific sector needs
3. Exploring practical long-term solutions to
making research and evidence more
accessible using existing infrastructure
To create a collaborative network of Scotland-based
Library and Information Science (LIS) researchers and
practising library and information professionals interested
in maximising the impact and value of LIS research.

The future is

Editor's Notes

  • #6 EBP is about evidence for making decisions – its librarians who make the decisions about their practice so they need to have the evidence (even if they have to create it themselves).  Furthermore they need evidence for advocacy – its best if they are involved https://eblip10.org EBLIP Volume 13: https://journals.library.ualberta.ca/eblip/index.php/EBLIP/about
  • #12 A significant step to see that NHS England has already embedded the Policy into its research plan (April 2017) https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/nhse-research-plan.pdf This gives us a basis from which to have wider discussions about our role in research
  • #13 This is a draft primary driver for our new research workstream It is “hot off the press” from discussions in Leeds on 28 October 2019 – comments welcomed
  • #15 We are refining our areas of activity, likely to cover: Skills development, including the leadership skills to shape research partnerships, as well as increasing confidence in research skills Advocacy – making the case for involvement of health library and knowledge specialists Research partnerships – working with others to co-shape or co-fund research Evidence base – build the evidence base and increase awareness of the evidence base for health library and knowledge services
  • #16 Our Return on Investment work is a specific part of our research work stream to establish the evidence base for health librarianship We started with the Evaluation Framework for Knowledge for Healthcare and an external review of the possible measures of the benefits that can be costed or valued from the activities of local NHS library and knowledge services and the specialists working within them. A group of LKS managers have reviewed these in detail and are making recommendations for which measures are valid and useful. Next step: analysis of existing data and commissioning of new measures where needed.
