Information Literacy mini-grants, in the amount of $500, are available to faculty who commit to working with a team of librarians to redesign an assignment in an undergraduate course to meet an information literacy learning outcome. In partnership with librarians and library staff, faculty will explore ideas for assignment redesign to deepen students' information literacy skills, while also considering Fitzpatrick's vision for the future of higher education. Applications will be accepted through April 2.
