Brettle, AJ; Maden, M

Abstract

This report seeks to provide evidence that CILIP can use to advocate on behalf of the information professions.
The report addresses three aims:
1. To create an initial evidence base which can be used to advocate on behalf of the information professions.
2. To develop clear propositions outlining the value that trained and professional registered staff provide.
3. To identify options for further research which can be commissioned by CILIP
It doe this by:
1. Reporting on a systematic scoping review of the literature to identify the evidence base for trained and professionally registered library, information and knowledge (LIK) workers
2. Mapping the evidence according to library sector
3. Identifying which evidence bases need updating
4. Drawing up a set of propositions from the results of the review and mapping
5. Identifying further research needed and what methods could be used to achieve this.
