OBJECTIVE: To predict the possible accomplishments of the Evidence-Based Librarianship (EBL) movement by the years 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020. METHODS: Predictive. The author draws upon recent events, relevant historical events and anecdotal accounts to detect evidence of predictable trends. RESULTS: The author develops a set of probable predictions for the development of EBL. Although incomplete evidence exists, some trends still seem discernible. CONCLUSION: By 2020, EBL will have become indistinguishable from mainstream health sciences librarianship/informatics practices.
