Broadly defined, information literacy is the ability to locate, evaluate, and use information ethically while fostering the development of critical thinking skills. Participants in this community will discuss the philosophy and theories of information literacy and explore methods/approaches for incorporating these concepts into the learning environment.
Support: Each participant has available up to $1,000 to support his or her efforts, for example, purchase of hardware or software, travel to conferences, on-line courses, etc.
Eligibility: Full-time faculty and librarians at assistant rank or above are eligible. Applications from both early career and seasoned faculty are encouraged.
Selection: Librarians and faculty will be selected to create a community representing a variety of disciplines and teaching styles by a subcommittee of CELT.

Due date: April 7. Awards will be announced in late April.
