By explicitly integrating information literacy across the curriculum, the strategy intends to facilitate research-led teaching and support students beyond graduation.
This document discusses the rising costs of textbooks and the barriers this poses for students. It notes that the average student spends $1,200 per year on textbooks, and that high costs cause many students to delay purchasing textbooks, take fewer courses, or fail courses. Open textbooks are presented as an alternative, as they can be freely copied, shared, and adapted with a Creative Commons license. Examples of open textbooks available from the University of Minnesota and other institutions are provided. Research shows that open textbooks can significantly reduce costs for students while maintaining educational quality. The document advocates for greater awareness and adoption of open textbooks by faculty.
Open Textbooks: Access, Affordability, and Academic SuccessDavid Ernst
Cost is a barrier to universal access to higher education. Faculty can make a significant impact by considering cost when adopting textbooks for their courses. Open textbooks (textbooks licensed with a Creative Commons or similar license) are an affordable solution. Faculty can find open textbooks at http://open.umn.edu. Take a look, and see what a difference you can make!

- Open textbooks provide free or low-cost alternatives to traditional textbooks that can help increase access and affordability of higher education. The rising costs of textbooks have caused many students to delay purchasing textbooks, take fewer courses, or earn poorer grades. Open textbooks funded by universities, foundations, and governments are available under open licenses allowing free copying and sharing. Studies show using open textbooks can lower costs for students by thousands of dollars while maintaining academic quality and outcomes. The document advocates increasing awareness and adoption of open textbooks to address the textbook cost crisis faced by many students.
The value of information literacy to employersInformAll
Presentation to SLA Europe networking event, 21 May 2015, by Stéphane Goldstein (Research Information Network and InformAll inititiative)
How is information literacy relevant in workplace settings? It is not usually recognised as a term and a concept by employers, but it is present implicitly in many of the attributes and competences that employers look for; and also in the information-sharing practices that organisations deploy. IL can be shown to be associated with important organisational success factors, such as operational efficiency and competitiveness. The challenge is to demonstrate more explicitly to employers across all sectors – commercial, public and not-for-profit – that they have an interest in ensuring that their staff are competent and confident in the way that they use, analyse and disseminate information. It is therefore important to persuade enterprises of the value that an information literate workforce can bring.

This document summarizes a presentation about preparing college students for life and work in turbulent times. It argues that the common "skills gap" narrative is incomplete and that culture plays a central role in skills, teaching, and careers. It advocates for more experiential learning like internships to help students develop complex habits of mind for specific fields. Educators are urged to focus on cultivating students' cultural capital through interactive teaching, professional socialization experiences, and awareness of cultural biases in hiring. The goals are to better prepare students for a changing job market and address structural challenges through a shared commitment to high-quality education, training, and equitable job opportunities.
Specialization Track Preference of BSIT Students in HCDC jeeyii2

Oracle knows talented individuals drive success, and they are willing to encourage positive workforce development through organizations such as BDPA. As such, Oracle made decision to offer the 10th Annual Oracle Scholarship for BDPA Students again this year. The scholarship application period goes through July 15 2018.
These scholarships are available to high school students (grade 12), community college students and undergraduate college students. The student must be studying in STEM-related curriculum. The student must be a BDPA member in good standing on or before the July 15th deadline. BDPA student membership is $25 annually.
Past Oracle scholars were helped by this funding as well as the BDPA programs and services made available to them at the local chapter level. Do you know a high school or college student (or their parents!) who could benefit from this information? If so, please share this message with them right away. Don't procrastinate ... the application is ready and available for immediate download.
Earl Pace and David Wimberly founded BDPA in November 1975 as a local association. Within three years, the founders grew BDPA into a national organization with chapters in Philadelphia, Washington DC and Cleveland. Today, there are 46 chapters throughout the United States. One part of the BDPA legacy is our program for college students and college campuses. This is a program that enriches the opportunities for our students in a variety of post-secondary education institutions with a focus on low-and moderate-income communities.
31% of BDPA’s membership consists of college students. BDPA understands that its educational life cycle moves from the classroom to the boardroom. A major element of the educational life cycle resides with college students. Annual membership dues for college students are only $25 … a significant savings from the annual membership dues that adult professionals invest in BDPA membership.
BDPA established the college student program to teach advanced computer science and community responsibility to students from historically disadvantaged communities. These are major components of our college student program that impact on the educational future of K-12 students:
1. College Scholarships
2. IT Showcase
3. Internships and Entry-Level Jobs in IT Industry
4. Mobile Application Showcase
Most of our 46 local BDPA chapters run programs that provide science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) curriculum and experiences for young people of color in community colleges, 4-year colleges and vocational schools. These training programs include a monthly program meeting hosted by each local chapter that provides remarkable information from industry professionals as well as unique networking opportunities that are not replicated anywhere else in the community.
BDPA seeks to have more students in college studying STEM-related disciplines. BDPA created the BDPA Education and Technology Foundation (BETF) in 1992 for the purpose of giving college scholarships to deserving high school students. Over 250 college scholarships valued at over $550,000 have been handed out by BDPA and BETF. In addition, BDPA created two programs that feature college students - IT Showcase (2003) and Mobile Application Showcase (2014). BDPA began the process to bridge the ‘digital divide’ before the term was widely known. BDPA recognizes that to close the gap of computer and technology literacy, minority youth must participate and compete in today’s digital economy. Otherwise, our youth run the risk of being obsolete in America’s workforce.
The BDPA college student program is intellectually challenging and builds self-esteem through the mastery of applied computer science. We create a foundation for academic and career success.
