John Carroll University has been selected to participate in the 2010 Information Fluency in the Disciplines Workshop in Literature to take place March 4-6, 2010, in New Orleans. Jeanne Somers, director of Grasselli Library and Breen Learning Center, and Francis Ryan, S.J., chair of the English department, led the application process for this highly competitive new program, designed to enhance the connection between instruction and library resources across campus. The program takes a department-by-department approach, with the 2010 workshop focusing on literature and languages.

Campus teams of faculty members, librarians, and the chief academic officer will participate in the program, which is made possible by the support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is co-sponsored by the Association of College Research Libraries and the Council on Library and Information Resources.
