Abstract This article discusses the collaboration between the Libraries and the Freshman Seminar Program at Washington State University Many goals related to information literacy competencies as defined by the library and higher education associations are met through this partnership. The librarians have an active role with the seminars and also take part in the peer facilitator training process. Anyone who has taught or participated in a library instruction session knows that teaching students research skills without a specific context is usually a waste of time. Without a particular assignment or project, students are not motivated to learn and often do not come away with a clear understanding of what resources the library can offer. Working with a freshman seminar over the course of a semester has been rewarding for the students, who have learned both concrete research skills and higher order critical thinking and information literacy skills, and also for the librarians. Playing a part in the training process for the undergraduate students who actually deliver the freshman seminar has been another successful venture.

Extractions: Japanese Canadian Internment Information at the University of Washington Libraries and Beyond Introduction "...this government notice, from the newly established British Columbia Security Commission, announced a policy of wholesale evacuation of Japanese Canadians from the so-called coastal defense zone..." Keeping British Columbia White Stephen M. Beckow Photograph courtesy of Vancouver Public Library The evacuation of the Japanese Canadians, or Nikkei Kanadajin , from the Pacific Coast in the early months of 1942 was the greatest mass movement in the history of Canada . By the eve of Pearl Harbor, nearly 23,000 people of Japanese descent made their home in Canada, principally in British Columbia. Three-quarters of that number were naturalized or native-born citizens. The Nikkei were foresters and fishermen, miners and merchants. Except for the industrialists who profited from cheap Asian labor, much of white British Columbia regarded the Japanese Canadians with suspicion, if not rabid hostility. Over the years the Nikkei had been targets of unremitting discrimination and occasional violence. Not until 1949, four years after Japan had surrendered, were the majority of Nikkei allowed to return to British Columbia. By then most had chosen to begin life anew elsewhere in Canada. Their property had long before been confiscated and sold at a fraction of its worth.
