These devices can be used to effectively meet a user's information needs. Librarians can assist users with the skills to select, purchase, design, develop, deploy, and maintain mobile applications and related technologies (MAT). Project MISSILE (Mobile Information Skills and Solutions in Library Education), funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, created an interdisciplinary curriculum plan for training library and information science (LIS) students to serve as mobile technology consultants (MTC) for libraries and not-for-profit organizations including schools and churches. This paper introduces the curriculum designed from an assessment by the experts on our advisory board. Our unique curriculum includes hands-on training gained through practica, guest speaker series, and field visits under the collaborative interdisciplinary mentorship of researchers and practitioners. The MISSILE curriculum builds twenty-first-century skills in information, communications and technology literacy, critical thinking, and problem solving. |
