Conscious of the need that we, librarians and other information professionals, have to propitiate proactive changes to build up better practices in our field, to contribute to the study and research endeavors of our diverse communities, to the sustainability of our counties, and to be part of the global and competitive world we live in, I have selected the theme Innovation and Informational Impact in the Caribbean: Evidence-Based Practice of the Library and Information Professional. The evidence-based practice provides a focus by which the information work environment in our professional field can be transformed into an intelligent research organization, through the use of the best possible evidence, along with pragmatic perspectives developed through our daily work.
