Theresa Buller will be winging her way to Melbourne very early on Tuesday morning to present a paper at the Australian Law Librarians’ Association Conference thanks to a Vice Chancellor’s General Staff Development Award. Theresa’s paper – Successes, failures, resistance and lessons learnt from implementing a structured legal research skills programme at the University of Canterbury – describes the work of UC’s Law Subject Librarians to develop an integrated information literacy curriculum for the LLB. A recent employability survey of UC graduates provided evidence of the value of this Library programme.  Law students reported Research Skills to be the second most valuable skill that they had  gained from their degree in terms of usefulness in their work.  

Congratulations Theresa
