Abstract

Everyday Evidence-Based Practice in the Academic Library: Case Studies and Reflections, edited by Claire Walker Wiley, Amanda Click, and Meggan Houlihan, builds on the framework developed by Denise Koufogiannakis and Alison Brettle in Being Evidence Based in Library and Information Practice. This edited collection emphasizes the importance of incorporating evidence-based practice (EBP) into daily academic library functions and seeks to present practices across various departments that can be adapted to fit the needs of different institutions. Readers of this edited collection can choose to read the whole book or decide to utilize chapters that are relevant to their professional or institutional needs. The collection is well thought out, and the inclusion of a wide variety of academic institutions and their experiences with EBP is one of the highlights of this volume.
