Discovering or generating new knowledge has been a major goal to improve health and well-being as well as library services and staffing. Just as important, or maybe even more important, is the ability to take this new knowledge and move it into practice. Participants will learn the basics and theory behind knowledge translation and what enhances effective and timely adoption of new knowledge. They will also have opportunity to reflect on past changes and plan for future innovations in their own settings and situations.
