McHenry County College

The McHenry County College's Information Literacy for College Readiness project focuses on the development of a plan, in partnership with Harvard Community Unit School District #50, to increase the information literacy of high school students by teaching 10 community college and high school librarians how to better understand the expectations of college-level students and enhance their college readiness. This planning grant will allow the partners to conduct a needs assessment, review the results, disseminate the results to the target high schools, discuss recommendations, conduct a literature review for the program implementation, research professional development training programs on information literacy, develop the larger project's design, and begin to write the proposal for a full LB21 grant.
