Please join us to celebrate recent accomplishments of our students, faculty, and alumni at Texas Woman's University School of Library and Information Studies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Literacy Matters Cohort Launches Web Presence The Literacy Matters: Educating Librarians to Serve Families with Young Children project cohort launched their web presence. These eighteen Master's students are supported by a federally funded Institute of Museum and Library Services grant. The Literacy Matters wiki includes students' portfolios in which they share their passion for family literacy and examples of their course projects. The web site is intended as a showcase for the project and will evolve as students add content that represents various aspects of their preparation for service as public library children's and family services librarians. Please visit the Literacy Matters wiki http://literacymatters.pbworks.com/w/page/67816919/FrontPage and follow the students' progress.
