'Show Me Steps to Continuing Education' grant provides support to SCC Library Personnel

Published: 05/29/2014

The Show Me Steps financial assistance program is funded by the Library Services of Technology Act (LSTA) and awarded through the Institute of Museum and Library Services, a federal agency that fosters innovation, leadership and a lifetime of learning. LSTA grants are awarded and administered to Missouri libraries by the Missouri State Library, a department of the Missouri Secretary of State. 

With this funding, Stephanie Tolson, Ph.D., dean of learning resources and academic support, attended the Academic Library Directors Symposium in February. 

“The role of academic library director should be to influence, inspire action and give a point to rally,” Tolson said. “I learned that we must develop an entrepreneurial mindset as we launch new mobile technologies.” 

Tolson will present what she learned from the symposium during the Annual Mobius Users Conference June 2-3 in Columbia, Mo. Her presentation will cover new mobile technologies that Innovative Interfaces Inc. will be making available to clients such as Mobius.
