Abstract
- In 2014, the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information (iSchool) and the University of Toronto Libraries (UTL) partnered in the development of the Toronto Academic Libraries Internship (TALint) program. Focused on workplace-integrated learning, the TALint program provides enhanced educational experiences for Masters of Information students by combining periods of in-class study with actual workplace experiences. With this year's TALint cohort in UTL's Metadata Technologies Unit, the NASIG Core Competencies for Electronic Resources Librarians was used as a framework for student training. In this session, we discuss the development of a comprehensive student training plan in electronic resource management, the key benefits of using the NASIG Core Competencies within the TALint program, student perceptions of competency-based training, and we outline future directions for the TALint program within the Metadata Technologies Unit.
