The experience of Uppsala, Sweden school libraries demonstrates the process of moving from research to evidence-based practice as a transformational process. Seven schools in Uppsala conducted research based on Todd and Kuhlthau’s (2003) Student Learning through Ohio School Libraries study. External researchers analyzed the research data and presented a formal report to the Uppsala study stakeholders. The results of the study informed plans to transform practice. Details of the experience include the findings from the study, implications for practice and the resulting collaboration between the principal and librarian at one school toward impacting student learning.
