Virtual Library Opportunity

Article from Library Journal:

"In Philadelphia, Drexel University's College of Information Science and Technology landed two hefty awards. A $613,478 grant with a $667,618 match will, in collaboration with the University of Michigan, Florida State University, and the University of Pittsburgh, 'transform the Internet Public Library (IPL) into a fully featured virtual learning laboratory for digital reference.' "

I guess we'll have to ask our Library contacts more about this article, because Michigan is involved. Perhaps there is a lot we could do considering that Drexel and Michigan are both in on this (and Pittsbugh is halfway). We'll definitely have to find out more.

My guess is that its SI and not the university library that is working on this.
