Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP) or evidence based librarianship (EBL) is the application of the interdisciplinary approach known as evidence-based practice to problems in the field of library and information science (LIS).

Characteristics

Evidence-based practice in general has been characterised as a positivist approach;[1] EBLIP is therefore also a positivist approach to LIS.[2] As such, EBLIP is an approach in contrast to other approaches to LIS.
