Abstract
Objective:
To predict the possible accomplishments of the Evidence-Based Librarianship (EBL) movement by the years 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020.
Methods:
Predictive. The author draws upon recent events, relevant historical events and anecdotal accounts to detect evidence of predictable trends.
Results:
The author develops a set of probable predictions for the development of EBL. Although incomplete evidence exists, some trends still seem discernible.
Conclusion:
By 2020, EBL will have become indistinguishable from mainstream health sciences librarianship/informatics practices.
