Library staff awarded three grants.
Mollie Freier and Heather Tompkins, reference and instruction librarians, have received a grant from the Associated Colleges of the Midwest to host a symposium on information literacy. Eric Hinsdale, library technology coordinator, and Andrea Nixon, associate director of academic computing, are Carleton’s leaders on a grant from the Midwest Information Technology Center (MITC) to fund a summer exchange of three student workers from both Carleton and DePauw University. This is the beginning of a student employment/intern program to build information and technology skills in a corps of Carleton students. Carolyn Sanford, head of reference and instruction and Ann Zawistoski, science librarian, are the project leaders of an MITC-funded effort among nine colleges to develop a Web-based assessment tool to measure first-year students’ information literacy.
