Abstract
Librarian involvement in post-secondary teaching and learning programming depends greatly on institutional context. Librarians and SoTL scholars have much in common, with librarians focusing on how students interact with the information they encounter in their academic activities. How do librarians perceive their contributions to undergraduate teaching and learning outside course-integrated instruction? And how do students respond to the information literacy skills librarians aim to impart? This year saw the launch of a micro-credential badge at University of Calgary aimed to prepare undergraduate students to be ready to engage in research activities. Organized and facilitated by the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning, the pilot year involved a significant presence of workshops from librarians and library staff. This presentation: (1) showcases the context leading to this collaboration and (2) highlights survey feedback and reflections from both librarians teaching and students learning in the program.
