Abstract

Giving students the skills they need to become independent learners allows them to flourish in both academia and onwards into the world of work. As the students become more confident in finding, evaluating and reading sources, it allows them to investigate deeper into their subjects and contribute fully to their classes. Embedding these skills is a collaboration between librarians and academic staff who each bring unique knowledge and experience. This presentation will look at different ways to embed these skills into the curriculum, using both classroom and online methods. Each level of study requires new skills to be learnt and this presentation will highlight what is needed at each level and how these build on previous knowledge. It will also cover techniques to evaluate how the students have rated their own short and long term benefits from learning these skills and how we plan to track the student’s progress throughout their course.
