Agenda
• EBM process: From unrecognised information need to evidence-based practice
• Enhancers and barriers to EBM process
• Role of clinical librarian services within EBM process

Methods
• In-depth data analysis of the papers identified by M. Dawes’ systematic review*
• Recording barriers and enhancers to the EBM process
• Grouping barriers / enhancers by SPECK concepts
• Mapping clinical librarian services to the EBM process
