Decolonising the library and grey literature: Interview with John Barbrook

Anthony Haynes writes: Across the fields of librarianship, information science, and grey literature, questions concerning values have come strongly to the fore.

In particular, the notion of decolonisation of intellectual capital has gained currency.

In this interview with John Barbrook, Faculty Librarian at Lancaster University, we discuss the meaning and process of decolonisation.

In the process, we consider the role of providing pathways for library users. In addition, we explore the relationship between grey literature and systematic review.

Encore Evidence-Based Medicine: What It Is and Why We Have It

Jonathan Marx, MBA discusses “Evidence-Based Medicine – EBM” – the standards that guide medical science and practice in the United States and many countries around the world. EBM is the ideal that healthcare professionals should make “conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence” in their everyday practice. We discuss the Covid-19 pandemic, driven by the novel SARS CoV-2 virus, which has offered the public an unusual glance into the medical scientific methods of gathering data, understanding and coding the virus, developing vaccines, and putting them through the rigorous clinical trial process to bring life-saving solutions to the marketplace. You will also learn the terms “meta-analysis”, “systematic reviews”, and the “clinical trial” and “drug approval” process, so that when you hear or read these terms in the news, you are better informed as to what is happening in research and actions taken by our various health agencies. Various examples of the developing science behind diseases and disorders will be used so that you better understand the scientific method behind medicine today, and you can distinguish between established facts, unsubstantiated rumors, and the development of medical knowledge.

BEME Podcast No 7

Why ‘systematic’ reviews? Professor Gordon discusses the scholarly discourse around the term systematic when considering reviews in education. He makes the case for why this term indicates an important research alignment and is not limited to the model made popular by Cochrane. He encourages discussion around this issue.
