University of Houston-Clear Lake (University of Houston, Clear Lake, School of Library and Information Sciences)

Seeking to increase the number of qualified professional librarians in the Houston area where there is a demonstrable need for school librarians, especially those trained in collaboration and working with diverse and disadvantaged populations, the University of Houston-Clearlake will recruit and educate 30 school librarians with a special emphasis on collaborating with school administrators. With the help of a number of Texas school district partners, the project seeks to attract at least fifteen bilingual students to school librarianship, provide continuing education workshops for principal/librarian “teams,” and promote the full integration of new technologies into the curriculum.
