The Lafayette College Libraries and the Provost’s Office will again sponsor information literacy grants ($1,500) for faculty who wish to collaborate with a research librarian to foster students’ research and critical thinking skills in an upper-level course. To be eligible, the class should include projects in which students critically examine and use information. The application deadline is Dec. 16. Faculty who are interested in applying for a grant should contact Lijuan Xu. More information about the grants, including the previous years’ recipients, can be found by visiting the Lafayette College Libraries website.
