The Career Workshop will help attendees prepare for a job search. Attendees will share experiences and challenges that they have encountered, and will be provided with insights and guidance to help them navigate the often-challenging job-seeker landscape. The workshop is divided into information-sharing sessions and activity-based sessions that help attendees get a combination of classroom-style learning mixed with hands-on interaction. In addition to discussions of cover letters, resumes, and portfolios, we will brainstorm approaches to common interview questions, including the behavioral-based questions that are being used by many companies today. We will also learn how to research and negotiate salaries for full-time and contract employees.

Numerous studies exist on how and to what extent course instructors in higher education are embedding or directly teaching writing, learning and research skills in their courses (Cilliers, 2011; Crosthwaite et al., 2006; and Mager and Sproken-Smith, 2014). Yet, disparity within the literature demonstrates that there is no consistent approach to the scaffolded development of these necessary skills within courses, programs, disciplines, or across disciplines. Preliminary research has also revealed that professor communication of expected or required student skills is often limited or unclear (McGuinnes, 2006). Through a collaborative research project at the University of Guelph, we employed a multidisciplinary and multi-skill approach to explore the intersection between professor articulation and student interpretation of academic skills. Through this research, we have identified that, in the teaching and learning in third year university courses, discrepancies exist a. between the learning, writing and research skills professors expect students to possess and the skills students think they possess when they enter the course; b. in professor articulation of skills they will teach in their course and which skills they expect students to develop outside of class time; c. in the skills students seek to develop based on their interpretation of the course outline; and d. in students’ ability to identify necessary skills before and after taking these courses. Based on these findings, we recommend that a curriculum-based approach to understanding the skill development needs of students can assist in bridging the gap between professor expectations and student interpretations of skill requirements. Throughout this research presentation, we will present an overview of our research project; present our key findings; offer initial interpretations on student understandings of course outlines; demonstrate the value of cross-unit and cross-departmental collaborations; and offer recommendations and potential areas for further research. After our presentation, we will welcome dialogue and questions.

Presented at the 2016 Teaching and Learning Innovations (TLI) Conference at the University of Guelph on April 26, 2016 As academic support staff, we provide front-line support to students and witness, first-hand, the challenges in student skill development. We have recognized that the skills students require for higher education not only cross disciplinary boundaries but also are applicable to their writing, learning and research. Through a collaborative, cross-unit research project funded by the University of Guelph's Scholarship of Teaching and Learning research grant, we have identified, in the teaching of and learning in third year university courses, a series of disconnects a) between the learning, writing and information literacy skills professors expect students to possess and the skills students think they possess when they enter the course; b) between professor expectations of student skill requirements and student interpretation of skill requirements from the course outline; and c) between professor and student understandings of where students should develop these skills (i.e. in class or outside of class). By conducting and disseminating research on the gap between professor communication of expectations and student interpretation of those expectations, we can contribute to graduate attribute research that thoroughly explores student skill development. This gap has implications on assessment when students are evaluated on skill sets that are not explicitly stated on the course syllabi due to variations in syllabi design or a lack of understanding of where those skills should be taught (i.e. in class or outside of class time). Also, by conducting collaborative research across different units, we believe we can identify gaps in the service delivery of academic support staff, and can recommend and establish more opportunities for academic support staff to communicate with faculty regarding skill support, thereby encouraging collaborations across units that support teaching and learning. Throughout this showcase, we will present a brief introduction to our research project and offer initial interpretations of our data. We will also demonstrate the implications of our research for those who support faculty in communicating and teaching required skill sets. After a brief presentation of the research project, participants will be invited to comment on or ask questions about our initial findings and proposed recommendations.

Presented at the OLA 2016 Super Conference with Hana Storova and Jacqueline Hamilton It is what you read when you dont have to that determines what you will be when you cant help it – Oscar Wilde The University of Guelph Library opened its Gryph Reads Leisure Reading collection to students, staff and faculty in July 2013. With the collection established, the focus of the Gryph Reads Committee has shifted. A new library-wide committee focuses on not only collection development, but promotion, building awareness and increasing user engagement through events and marketing. This session will engage participants through an exploration of the purpose and potential of leisure reading collections in academic libraries. Key initiatives of our committee have included a user experience survey, Blind Date with a Book event and One Book One Library Book Club. We will share lessons learned and best practices. Participants will leave the session with a road map for developing their own leisure reading collection and program.

Infographics: E-volving Instruction for Visual Literacy Melanie Parlette-Stewart, Lindsey Robinson - University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario WILU 2014 - London, ON Infographics involve the bringing together of information, data, and design. There is increasing need to be visually literate, as is highlighted in the ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education. This session presents the ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards and the application of these to an introductory infographics instruction session. This session will highlight the active learning approach used to allow students to engage with and create infographics at an introductory level.

E-valuating the Impact of Face-to-Face and Online Information Literacy and Writing Skills Instruction Using a Mixed Methods Research Design WILU 2014, London, Ontario Melanie Parlette-Stewart, Karen Nicholson, Kim Garwood, Trent Tucker - University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario This presentation will describe a mixed methods, collaborative action research project conducted as part of the ACRL's Assessment in Action (AiA) program to evaluate the impact of face-to-face, online, and blended approaches to information literacy and writing skill development in a large, first-year management course MGMT*1000. While our study did not yield the generalizable data that we had hoped, it did teach us some valuable lessons about the challenges and pitfalls of conducting mixed methods research that will be of use to those interested in gathering evidence to assess the Library's impact on student learning outcomes.

How you can help them and how they can find you – leads into the ISEMP introduction
This can be amended to reflect a specific assignment they are working towards or that information could be added verbally.
Segway – The Library provides lots of print and online information that can be classed as “better” information: published, edited, scholarly, sometimes peer-reviewed. Google is great for finding the free stuff, and we’ve seen that there can be quality info found through a search for free information. But the library specializes in providing more information to you – the kind that usually you have to pay for. Direct students to go the LRC homepage to get started. Proceed with search examples without additional slides.
Discuss the above as the two principle ways to find information through the library. Direct students to go the LRC homepage to get started. Proceed with search examples without additional slides.
