DU's Graduate Library School Receives LINCC Grant

Dominican University’s Graduate School of Library and Information Sciences (GSLIS) has been awarded a $46,151 grant from the Illinois State Library to serve as an academic partner, with the DuPage Library System and the North Suburban Library System, in the LINCC Libraries: Innovate, Create, Collaborate program.

The goal of the project, titled “Here’s the Evidence: School Librarians Help Students Achieve,” is to teach school librarians to assess 21st century information skills, develop evidence of what students have achieved through library instruction, and to share that evidence with stakeholders such as school administrators and parents.

Dominican University’s GSLIS will provide assistance to this project by distributing and evaluating its results and developing curricula for pre-service class work and post-graduate professional development. The project is scheduled to be completed in June of 2008.

Accredited by the ALA, Dominican University’s GSLIS has been educating future library leaders and information professionals since the 1930s. The school offers master’s degrees in library and information science and in knowledge management. For more information on Dominican University’s GSLIS, please call (708) 524-6845.

Founded in 1901, Dominican University is a comprehensive, coeducational Catholic institution offering bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Dominican offers 50 undergraduate academic programs in the Rosary College of Arts and Sciences and 15 graduate programs through the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, the Brennan School of Business, the School of Education, the Graduate School of Social Work, and the School for Leadership and Continuing Studies. In the 2008 issue of America’s Best Colleges, U.S. News & World Report again ranked Dominican University in the top tier of Midwest master’s level universities and as a “best value” for the tenth consecutive year.
