About the Event
The transition from college to university can be a daunting process for students. From a library perspective this can be exacerbated by differences in expectations, facilities and services from FE to HE libraries. For a number of years, HE librarians at some institutions have been seeking to bridge this gap by taking a skill-based approach and offering support with the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) to college students. In this webinar we’ll look at the limitations of this approach and suggest an alternative mindset-based approach where FE and HE library colleagues can collaborate on better preparing students for transition between the sectors.

Feedback
The UKSG webinars are great for me – they offer a wide range of topics and are very well prepared. I never experienced any technical difficulties. Due to the austerity measures brought by the recent worldwide events the training budget in my institution was frozen, so the fact that UKSG webinars are free is really a boon too!

The UKSG webinar was fantastic – well-organized, timely, accessible, and with an array of presenters that had insight into the topic

Great to squeeze in so much useful knowledge and information without having to go out to a conference. I could enjoy taking it in with a sandwich at my desk! I felt very empowered afterwards.
