Syracuse University

The Center for Digital Literacy at Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies will create, deploy, and evaluate a new freely available online tool to help students, educators, and school librarians critically evaluate web-based information resources for class assignments. The tool will incorporate new evaluation metrics that align with existing and emerging standards for 21st-century learners. It will include additional evaluation and reporting functions designed specifically to help school librarians make recommendations on web-based information most appropriate for use by teachers and students.
