Structured abstractPurpose: This paper outlines work to support the employability agenda in the Library at the University of Sheffield, set in the context of debates about the nature of employability, employability skills and information literacy in the workplace. Design: The paper starts with a brief review of literature on employability and student skills in the UK HE sector, the place of information literacy as an employability attribute and information literacy in the workplace. It goes on to outline work done in the Library at the University of Sheffield to support the employability agenda. This includes the development of a commercial awareness workshop in collaboration with other services, and the incorporation of student and alumni voices in an employability guide. Findings: The literature reviewed highlights differences between information literacy in the workplace and academia. This could present challenges as well as opportunities in promoting information literacy as an employability attribute. The case study highlights the benefits of working in collaboration with students and services beyond the Library in the employability arena. Value: The approaches taken in Sheffield may be of interest to other institutions looking to develop support for the employability agenda.
