iSkills: Professional, Academic, & Technical Workshops

Overview

Faculty of Information professors, librarians, staff, current students, alumni, and a collective of professionals and academics from each program and concentration, worked together to create the iSkills roster of workshops listed below. Together with the required curricula, these workshops create a unique information and heritage educational experience. They also address academic, professional, and technical competencies aligned with your program and / or concentration(s).

To view a catalogue of our past sessions, please view the Historical iSkills Catalogue (updated November 2022).
