EBLIP call for Classic submissions
Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP), a peer-reviewed, open access journal published since 2006, seeks nominations and contributors for its “Classic Research Studies” section.
Contributions to the EBLIP “Classics” section follow a structured format designed to highlight, summarize and critically appraise research studies that have stood the test of time and that have had (and continue to have) an impact on library and information practice. Previous “Classics” have included the work of William Postell, Constance Mellon, Carol Kuhlthau, Joanne Marshall, and Robert Taylor. For an example of a “Classic” summary, see
<http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/EBLIP/article/view/1760/3331>.
If you can identify such a study, articulate its value to LIS practice, and are willing to write a summary and appraisal of that study in order to make EBLIP readers aware of this “Classic,” we would like to hear from you.
Information about Evidence Based Library and Information Practice is available at: <http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/EBLIP/index>.
Access to EBLIP Evidence Summaries and Classics by subject is available at:

EBLIP wants to continue to highlight past research that is important and bring that research to the attention of new readers. Please consider nominating a great research article to be featured in EBLIP.
For more information, or to nominate a research article, please contact Jonathan Eldredge, <jeldredge@salud.unm.edu>, Associate Editor (Classics). Nominations should be accompanied by a full bibliographic citation and an explanation of the contribution of the research to the field of library and information practice. If the article is selected, a schedule for publication and submission deadlines will be arranged with the Editor.
