Abstract

Purpose: To discuss the Bournemouth University Library’s approach to enhance students’ employability and encourage their career management. Design/methodology/approach: To review our trade publications collection and create a set of web pages to exploit these and newly discovered resources. Findings: Piloting the Project using a few subject areas helped to uncover any inefficiencies, discover tools that could be used (e.g. Ulrichsweb and Intute) to gain the best information, and enabled us to create a set of guidelines to distribute across the Team. There are four phases to this Project: review, information gathering, decisions and promotion. Practical Implications: Sifting out good quality authoritative information takes time, though this process is aided by using tools such as Intute for example. It is important to keep the web pages up to date. Originality/value: Discussion about how a Higher Education library service can engage with students’ career management.
