What: The Australian Evidence-Based Practice Librarians’ Institute (AEBPLI) is an introduction to Evidence-Based Practice, focusing on question building, searching, critical appraisal of the literature, and advanced topics related to systematic reviews. Facilitated by health sciences librarians from Australia and the US, the curriculum combines content in engaging large group lectures with small group sessions for practising concepts. It is a four-day immersive residential program for hospital and academic librarians to work together in a supportive environment. The 2024 curriculum is designed for hospital and academic librarians and is also suitable for clinical researchers and research assistants undertaking systematic reviews.
The Institute provides intensive training for participants to be able to support clinical practice information needs, research, and teaching and includes:
Study designs used in clinical research,
Clinical questions to facilitate efficient searching skills to support patient care,
Critical appraisal of clinical research, including randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and qualitative research,
