Curators of The University Of Missouri (School of Information Science and Learning Technologies)

The University of Missouri School of Information Science & Learning Technologies (SISLT), Health Sciences Library, and the MidContinental Region of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine will jointly develop an interdisciplinary community health information curriculum and create a Midwest network of practice to meet the information needs for low-income and rural communities. The project team will create information resource and curriculum that will be used within SISLT and widely distributed to libraries and the library and information science education community. The team will also develop health information outreach and programming skills with collaborators and students, train a student cohort to lead community health information networks, and expand a community empowerment framework to library education.
