Abstract / Summary

The Falmouth Award is an enhancement award designed to improve the employment prospects of graduates. The document discusses the changing information environment and relationship students have with information due to the rise of digital technologies and social media. It argues students today struggle with research, have limited vocabulary, and don't think critically. However, they are constantly connected via social media and have a sense of information overload. To improve employability, students need skills in problem solving, analysis, communication and literacy. The role of academic liaison librarians is discussed as helping make the connection between information literacy and the real world through approaches like metaliteracy.
