The global Internet sparked a local collaboration between two campus
departments: Counseling & Career Services and the Library at the
University of California, Santa Barbara. We designed a career and job
information workshop integrating the resources and expertise of both
departments. The framework of the workshop was constructed from the
career advisor's approach to student career development, from identifying
careers to interviewing for positions. The librarians contributed their
Internet expertise and their teaching and information-seeking skills.
Rather than serving as a mere showcase of job-related URLs, the workshop
weaves the Web into an overall career development and job seeking process.
This poster session will highlight how we taught the workshop, integrating
career advising and information seeking, using the Web to weave it all
together. It will be of interest as an example of successful
collaboration, and of teaching information resources through the Web
without getting tangled in just the technical aspects.
