Trinity University, in San Antonio, Texas, began its first year of a five-year plan to integrate information literacy into the liberal arts curriculum as a part of the required reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 2008-2009. This opportunity brought changing roles for the library and librarians by providing an opportunity at wide-scale integration of information literacy goals into the curriculum with administrative support. The campus embraced the formation of an information literacy committee, and the administration provided support and funding for workshops, curricular grants, and new positions. This article details the goals, plan, and new personnel brought about by this program.
