Project ENABLE is a collaborative endeavor of the Center for Digital Literacy at the (iSchool) and the (BBI) at ϲ.

The training website contains five learning modules, packed with information in a variety of formats. Each module includes content, activities and assessments that simulate the project’s face-to-face workshops. In the , K-12 educators participated in professional development workshops at SU.

While the target audience is school librarians, the training website is a comprehensive resource for public and academic librarians, general and special educators, administrators, parents and their communities. To access the training modules, visit and click on the “Login/Register” button on the top right of the screen.

Project ENABLE is led by Ruth Small, Laura J. & L. Douglas Meredith Professor at the iSchool and director of the Center for Digital Literacy; Renee Franklin, assistant professor of information studies; and William Myhill, director of legal research and writing at BBI.
