Assignment
• The chair of the Biology Dept has a
grant to develop an electronic
collaborative learning space to better
serve rural communities. How can you
involve your library and/or other
departments to be partners in this
grant?
Specifics
• Identify the necessary departments and
specific staff to be involved.
• Draw up a skeletal proposal and
timeline for implementation.
