Elkins awarded $370,000 grant

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has awarded Aaron Elkins, PhD, and two colleagues a $370,000 grant to develop a curriculum for universities and high schools that teaches students how to recognize their own biases when gathering information. The trio aims to develop information literacy instruction that incorporates social-emotional literacy and cultural humility for universities and secondary schools.

The project is a collaboration with former TWU colleague Rea Simons, PhD, and Elizabeth Burns, PhD, both of Old Dominion University. The $369,400 grant comes from the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program.
