In the Spring of 2006, the presenters received a grant to incorporate text messaging into their information literacy efforts. The plan is to use existing cell phone technology to increase student involvement and improve student learning. This presentation will include discussion on the use of text messaging technology in three distinct areas: reference, instruction and outreach.
