When Penn State leaders made the decision to shift to remote learning for summer 2020 classes, Penn State instruction leaders realized they needed to rethink strategies for student support. Fortunately, an already-successful Penn State University Libraries-based technology training initiative, Tech Academy, had been introducing basic technology tools and skills to incoming students since 2017, and was ready to be transformed for online training needs.
Penn State University Libraries presented its sixth annual "Undergraduate Research Award: Excellence in Information Literacy" honors at the end of the spring 2023 semester to 136 students at 20 undergraduate Penn State campuses.
