Libraries and publishers rely on transactional data to support evidence-based decision making. However, by itself quantitative information does not provide a full picture. To anticipate the evolving needs of our audience we also need to hear from the individual users themselves. In this article, I will review the findings from several recent examples survey-based research into the question of how students use reference materials in and outside of their libraries. What are students actually saying about their needs and preferences when it comes to reference? While some uses cases for reference are moving out of the library into the open web not all have. What we hear students say is that they continue to have an unmet need for long-form, contextual guidance. They say they have trouble locating this content, but that the library is the first place they look for it. This is a risk because if students cannot find in-depth summary content in their library they will migrate to the open web where they lose the benefits of librarian intermediation as both a curator of sources and as a guide via instruction.

Researcher-practitioner partnerships (RPPs) present opportunities to conduct studies that support evidence-based decision-making for participating school divisions (Coburn, Penuel, & Geil, 2013). Doing this work effectively requires ongoing input from key stakeholders, attention to the local impact of the research, and targeted dissemination to audiences who can benefit from the findings (Tseng, 2012). Research dissemination methods typically include written reports, but constantly evolving media platforms show promise for sharing findings in engaging and innovative ways (Voithofer, 2005). This paper discusses the development and apparent impact of a podcast for a metropolitan RPP to disseminate research findings and other information pertinent to the priorities of partnering school divisions, with implications for broader conversations about exploring issues in public, PK-12 education.

There are many new and exciting health information developments in Australia today.However, there are also many gaps and problems in the information available to support evidence-based decision-making. For example, computerisation in health lags behind other industries. However, these problems should not prevent us using the available data to manage individual care and the health care system more effectively. It is fruitless to wait for atechnological solution to all our problems. Educational and staff changes are needed to prepare health professionals and patients to use information to make evidence-based decisions and bring health care into the information age.
