Abstract

This paper describes the Library and Information Management Employability Skills Project, which has received funding from HEfCE's Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning. Collaboration between Library and Information Management Departments in three UK universities has resulted in the creation of learning and teaching materials which will be made freely available to all library and information academics via the HEA-ICS. Co-operation with practitioners in the sector has resulted in context rich case study material which can be used to enhance academic teaching and improve student awareness of their employability skills.
