The Connected Librarian: Collaborating beyond Walls with America Recycles

To me, global collaboration goes far beyond one-time connections and moves students, teachers, and libraries toward collaborative relationships with schools around the world. Global projects can focus on real-world problems that students can have a significant impact on in their world.
