Despite typically high turnover rates of military personnel and restructuring of 3 facilities during the study period, the readiness for, beliefs about, and implementation of EBP improved. This study suggests that a commitment to an EBP culture may diffuse among individuals in an organization, even while experiencing significant change. It also demonstrates that a unit-level mentored EBP program is sustainable despite changes in organizational structure and workforce composition.
Each fall thousands of new students arrive at the University of California at Santa Cruz; the library’s goal is to ensure that each new user has the basic skills to find, evaluate, and use information resources from print, online, and Internet‐based sources. But in fact many orientation programs, online classes, and printed documentation the library provides may not be available when and where students need them. The bibliographic instruction program had to evolve to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse user population with varying learning styles. The World Wide Web offered a new medium to address this need. With help from a combination of grants and student developers, a WWW resource called the “Library Starter Kit” was developed. Already, Murphy notes, it is being used in a variety of instructional settings by librarians and faculty and as an outreach tool for local schools, colleges, and community members.
