Libraries, information literacy & the co-curricular transcript

Co-curricular transcripts are rapidly gaining recognition as valuable artifacts of a truly holistic undergraduate education. Many employers report that they increasingly find good co-curricular transcripts more useful than traditional academic transcripts, because they provide a fuller picture of an applicant’s skill sets and hands-on experience. This session will consider the overall role of the co-curricular transcript in documenting students’ acquisition of critical transferrable skills needed in the modern workplace, and focus on ways that university libraries can become active and important contributors to well-designed co-curricular transcripts - especially in documenting students’ progress in the area of information literacy.
