Cory Laverty is Teaching & Learning Specialist & Librarian at Queen’s University Centre for Teaching and Learning (Kingston, Ontario, Canada). I'm currently collaborating on the design of a course called Information Research and Management to be offered at a second-year university level. The assignments in the course build towards the creation of a Wikipedia entry. My research interests are in the scholarship of teaching and learning, information literacy, inquiry-based learning, experiential learning, and professional development models for faculty and librarians. I have a PhD in Information Science (Wales), MLIS (Western), degrees in music (BMus, MA in musicology), and formal teaching credentials (London, UK). During my career as a librarian I have led information literacy programming across 33 university departments and taught courses on inquiry-based learning and librarianship. I have contributed to teaching and learning initiatives across Ontario and was honoured with the OCUFA Academic Librarianship Award and the OCULA Lifetime Achievement Award. At the Queen`s Centre for Teaching & Learning, I work with faculty on course integration of inquiry and research skills and lead Queen’s educational research workshop series.
