Academic Libraries Foster Key Skills

From American Libraries Direct

Academic libraries foster key skills

ACRL’s Betsy Wilson and Erika Linke write: “As students prepare for future careers that will demand top-notch research skills, critical thinking, and a savvy eye for finding information, academic librarians are stepping up to meet those needs. Library professionals are equipping the next generation of engineers, teachers, doctors—and jobs yet to be imagined—with the training and research tools needed to compete in the global marketplace. This is a vital contribution in today’s challenging economic times.”...Seattle Times, Mar. 4
