<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><i>EBLIP</i> seeks to add five
writers to the Evidence Summaries Team. Evidence Summaries provide critical
appraisal syntheses for specific research articles. These research synopses
provide readers with information regarding the original research article's validity
and reliability, thus providing information on the presence or absence of
evidence with which to make informed decisions. Evidence Summaries Team members
are required to write two evidence summaries per year, with a two year
commitment to the journal. Evidence Summaries cover all areas of library and
information studies and we encourage applications from information professionals
in areas such as school, public, and special libraries, as well as academic
settings.</span></p>
