EBIL is a conference organised 'by practitioners for practitioners'.
The purpose of this event is to bring together the IL educators who have completed the courses and projects sponsored by NLH. The event will offer the opportunity to discuss and share good practice with conference attendees drawn from NHS, university-related libraries and independent health libraries.
By bringing together these diverse communities of practice we hope to begin to establish an over-arching network of IL practitioners and a wealth of examples on the impact of information literacy education on evidence based medicine and patient care.
