Thanks to Nancy from Birmingham for alerting me to this website. Informed Transitions High School Outreach programme is an initiative of Kent State University Library, USA. The program’s mission is to foster successful student transitions from high school to college by developing information literacy and promoting positive attitudes to academic libraries – exactly what I am interested in doing too!
Nancy and I have been talking for a while about organising some kind of collaborative event for school teachers, school librarians and academic librarians to get together to form a community of practice to develop similar programmes. I hope to start planning this event soon, so if there is anyone reading the blog who would like to get involved, please do get in touch.
