This article describes the launching of a journal club in the EAHIL Special Interest Group (SIG) for Evidence-
Based Information. The key aim of the SIG is to bring together and connect all EAHIL members wanting to
improve the quality of systematic reviews and other evidence-based products. One project was to set up a reference library with research papers on systematic review methodology and the role of librarians. To help translate research into practice and connect colleagues for discussion, a journal club was launched. Invited guests, such as the
authors of a selected paper, not only information specialists, have been a successful feature and future development
of the journal club may include inviting other authors such as students, PhD students or clinicians.
