Abstract

assessment

collaboration

Support for academic and information literacies are often perceived as sitting outside the faculty and can be disassociated from each other in terms of delivery and student engagement. A collaborative model has been operating in the Business faculty at the University of the Sunshine Coast (USC) since 2008 that aims to redress this issue by bringing together support for library research, academic writing and faculty guidance into a shared consultative space. This session describes the operation of this collaborative consultative service, BUdi (Business drop-in). Focus groups, online surveys and interviews with coordinators have been conducted to evaluative the impact of BUdi. The value of such a support service and findings that have emerged from evaluations performed to date be will discussed.
