ISU-based center to help librarians train info consumers

Teaching people to find, evaluate and use information effectively has always been part of a librarian’s job, but Ward wants to create a centralized one-stop shop to help. With a nearly $60,000 federal grant in hand, he aims to build the Illinois Center for Information Literacy at ISU.

“The idea is to have one place to see what is going on in Illinois in terms of information literacy,” Ward said.
