“…However, the scholarship documenting the collaboration in this area between instructional economics faculty and librarians is limited. Neither the calls by economics instructors (Li & Simonson, 2016;McGrath & Tiemann, 1985;Mendez-Carbajo, 2016) nor the experiences documented by librarians (Waggoner & Yates Habich, 2020;Wheatley, 2020;Wilhelm, 2021) regarding a need for data literacy appear to have broad impact.…”

We believe reproducibility should be part of the undergraduate curriculum in economics because it is a valuable professional skill. It should be developed by consistently citing the data sources used in economic arguments. Good data citations help document the work of collecting the data used in research. We must instill the practice of citing the data both by leading by example and by enrolling the help of librarians. This is not a standalone skill associated with a single course or topic, but a fundamental skill for future academic and professional success. We argue it should be demonstrated and emphasized throughout the curriculum.The scholarship of teaching and learning in economics documents multiple efforts to bring the quantitative dimension of our professional work closer to the undergraduate college curriculum.

“…In some places, such collaboration is prescribed by university strategic plans (Lafferty, 2019), which certainly facilitates sustainable partnerships.

The pressure on higher education institutions to produce employment-ready graduates is high, and academic libraries can contribute to this goal by collaborating with non-academic departments. The Georgetown University in Qatar library partnered with the Career Services Centre and the Alumni office in launching Careers Library programme that expanded on the idea of the Human Library by creating an online week-long event aimed at empowering senior students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in professional life after graduation. This practice paper illustrates how the library can engage in broader activities beyond information literacy instruction and leverage alumni relationships to develop students’ competencies. The collaboration proved to be beneficial and it fits well within the framework of library outreach activities. The value to the academic community is that this event can be easily replicated and it offers an easy way to draw on the expertise of alumni willing to give back to their school.
