Teaching Culturally and Linguistically Diverse International Students in Open or Online Learning Environments: A Research Symposium
School-aged children constitute a significant portion of the large number of refugees who have resettled in Canada in recent years. Due to the lack of cross-cultural competencies, a social justice focus, and transformative leadership skills, Canadian schools are often challenged to effectively address refugee students’ socio-psychological problems. Moreover, educational literature and policy, which specifically target Canadian refugee students, are scarce.

Creating A Library Research Prize To Reward And Encourage Information Literacy, Ray Bailey, Helen Beaven
Georgia International Conference on Information Literacy
Student research papers and other similar projects have traditionally been the “bread and butter” of academic libraries.

It is an ongoing challenge for academic libraries to make this fact known to the campus community, and to find novel ways to entice students to utilize the library and all it has to offer, rather than depending on less reliable sources. To encourage our students to perform academic research and writing …
