Gaps in Best Practice Sharing

LLIS

AARs

  • There is no vetting (no peer review)
  • No larger conversation about the products on the site.

Project Description

Training

  • May be sanitized for political reasons.
  • Subject to Public Information Requests.
  • May result in less than full disclosure.
  • Training is often from a trainer's perspective.
  • May not be from experience - but rather curriculum.

Professional Conferences

  • Often open to various stakeholders - may result in less than full disclosure.
  • The sponsoring agency may be a regulatory or funding source.
