The Transformation of the College Library Workshops is an initiative CIC launched in 2002 in cooperation with the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), to strengthen the contribution of libraries to teaching and learning. Institutions are invited to apply to participate in one of three regional workshops. Those accepted as participants will receive a travel stipend of up to $1,500.The workshops assist libraries in addressing such critical issues as advancing information literacy as an element of liberal education; the role of the library in teaching and learning through collaboration between librarians and faculty members; the changing use and conception of the physical space of the library; the challenges of using technology in improving students' learning; setting institutional priorities for library-related costs when they increasingly exceed standard budget guidelines; implementing institutional change; and assessing the institution-wide impact of changes in library services. The hope is to create opportunities for provosts, directors of academic technology, library directors, faculty leaders, and the faculty development directors at independent colleges and universities to stay in step with the rapid change occurring in the world of academic libraries. Institutions may apply to one, two, or all three, expressing a preference among them. The workshops are designed for institutional teams; each workshop can accommodate 15 colleges and universities. Funders: the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Foundation, the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, and the Association of College and Research Libraries Program Status: An initial pilot workshop was held in September 2002. Three workshops took place during 2004: San Francisco, California, February 26-28 Summary of Campus Environments, Libraries, and Information Literacy - These sheets summarize information provided in the applications of the institutions that participated in the workshops.
