#blogjune Day 27: The (proposed) EBLIP Capability Maturity Model enables library leaders to determine the extent to which their library is practicing in an evidence-based way. In this video, I briefly explain the three dimensions on which evidence-based practice maturity could be evaluated in libraries. Transcript G’day and welcome to...
#blogjune Day 26: Here I share how the research project with Clare Thorpe about developing an EBLIP Capability Maturity Model came about (by walking into her office one day to ask a question) and briefly, its outcomes. Transcript G’day and welcome to this video series chatting about EBLIP. I’m Alisa...
#blogjune Day 6: I briefly chat about research evidence, as one of the three types of evidence in evidence-based library and information practice (Koufogiannakis, 2011), as well as a couple of issues of which to be mindful. Transcript G’day, and welcome to this video series chatting about all things evidence-based library...
It’s a ‘thinky’ kind of Saturday morning. I’m doing some research assistant work and I can’t seem to get past a thought or rather, a brief interaction I had this week. The two are linked – in my research assistant work this morning I’m looking at literature around the practitioner experience...
Academic writing can be difficult. When the thoughts don’t quite flow the way you need them to make any sense, academic writing can be downright frustrating. Recently, I thought I had been (very) patient with a literature review I’m writing. I knew the literature. I knew what I wanted to say,...

I’m a little excited. There are a number of reasons why. One of them is my research project this semester. I’ll be looking into the role of innovation in archival institutions. I’m looking forward to the findings. And I’m looking forward to graduating. But that’s another story, and not the...
I wouldn’t normally discuss my life outside of professional things here, but right now I have my cranky pants on. This post is partly inspired by carolbycomputerlight’s cranky pants #blogjune post, which made me feel comfortable enough to reveal my cranky pants episode. Where did this day go? I can’t...
(CC by 2.0 from Flickr – meddygarnet) This afternoon I had a meeting with my fabulous research supervisor. This was a meeting I absolutely had to have to move forward and muster up the ‘ooomph’ I really needed to complete these final steps. #blogjune has suffered the last week as my...
This year I extended my LIS Masters course to undertake research projects equivalent to four course units. I could have graduated last year. You’d think three years part-time would’ve been enough. Some may think ‘Huh? You did what?!’. I’ll say ‘Yep, I may be crazy but it’s probably the best...
