Abstract
Evidence-based librarianship (EBL) is a complementary mechanism that helps librarian in problem solving and decision making process. This concept certainly gives additional value to library in many aspects of librarianship activities and services. EBL supports librarian to apply evidence in their daily practices since the concept is moderately flexible and appropriate in many areas in library. The aim of this paper is to identify librarian’s attitude in Malaysia towards evidence based librarianship (EBL). This study adopts a quantitative research methodology and uses a survey form for data collection. Academic librarians from public universities were selected to be the respondents in this study. The librarian response towards the level of evidence used by the librarian and source of evidence used by them is moderate. The results from the study are inclusive of Malaysian academic librarian and it may not be interpreted as generalizable to librarian from another type of libraries.
