Teacher Education Faculty and Library Collaboration Projects
Grants were awarded to 13 higher education institutions in Ohio.

The goal is to address the development of information literacy skills in teacher education students so that they can be successful users of the professional literature and subsequently instill those skills in the students they teach.There are two tracks for the grant focus.
