Session Description:
You don’t have to tell librarians that in a highly-networked society, information literacy skills are vital for college graduates. But what do employers value? How do they know undergraduates have these often-assumed skills? Presenters will discuss research findings about employers’ most-valued information literacy skills, if employers will embrace digital badges, and how we used this data to develop our badges. Participants will share their ideas about the role of badges through polling and chat.
