Most college students today have little trouble finding information through Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Wikipedia. They find it more challenging when asked to locate, evaluate, and ethically use the highest quality and most appropriate resources, which might require them to look beyond the first few hits in a Google search. Academic librarians are spending more time designing and delivering instruction to help students develop these important information literacy skills. How can librarians design their classes to promote the learning of these higher-order mental processes? How can they capture the attention of their students and engage them in the learning process? Adding games, activities, and authentic or problem based assignments to existing instruction sessions may be the answer. This article will discuss how librarians at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) Libraries have made instruction more engaging and effective by adding action to orientations and authenticity to assignments.

Internship courses, unlike others, are multi-pronged because they require coordination at different levels. Typically, a faculty coordinates the communication and implementation at these multiple levels to lead the completion of internship courses. We call the position that this faculty holds and does all this communication/coordination the “internship coordinator”. For the work of the internship coordinator to be successful, he/she must synchronize the work of the internship with all parties involved. Failure to coordinate at one level or another may affect the work of other parties involved in completing the internship for the students. This paper explains the experience of an internship program at the computer science department (COSC) at Indiana University Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). We focus on the work on the internship coordinator for this program and his work to communicate and coordinate to successfully implement the internship experience for the students. We first present in this paper the theoretical foundation that has led to the development of internship programs in academia. We also elaborate at the multiple levels and their role in completing the internship experience for the students. A revised version of this paper was published in the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology Volume 12, 2015

Internship courses, unlike others, are multi-pronged because they require coordination at different levels. Typically, a faculty member coordinates the communication and implementation at each level to achieve the desired outcomes. We call the position that this faculty holds the “internship coordinator”. For the work of the internship coordinator to be successful, he/she may need to synchronize the work of the internship with all parties involved. Failure to coordinate at one level or another may affect the work of other parties involved in completing the internship for the students.
