Bridge the Gap

The Bridge  

•Interest in collaboration between librarians at different levels of education has  been escalating.

•Collaborating for a smoother transition is a common concern of librarians . 

•A term associated with such collaboration is “transition literacy.”       

       
           “Transition literacy is not a new concept but it is gaining
           momentum as a concept in schools and universities as students
           need to be ready to enter the next step in their academic life in an
           information rich environment”    (Beaudry, 2010 )

The Gap 
The gap refers to a disparity between:

•  the skills that graduating high school students have    

•  the skills they need to be successful in their first year of a post-secondary
