CTEP at Metropolitan State University Library
 
 
 
Metropolitan State University Library and Saint Paul Public Library- Dayton's Bluff have enjoyed a strong partnership since our building opened in 2004, and the missions of our institutions are complementary. It is a unique pairing of a university library and public library in the same building. Metro State University has a long history of community-based learning and neighborhood outreach and are supported by the University's Institute for Community Engagement and Scholarship. Out of our 7296 Metro State library cards issued in 2017, 2,263 were for patrons who were not university affiliated. Metro State currently has 11,375 enrolled students. Metropolitan State University Library has a total of five full-time staff dedicated primarily to assisting students and community members with their technology needs. Additionally, librarians at Metro State have faculty status and teach information and digital literacy courses within the university curriculum both in person and online. Our institutions have enthusiastic and capable staff and a strong sense of connectedness between institutions and to the neighborhood. The library CTEP helps establish relationships new communities while we continue to our diverse student population. The AmeriCorps Community Technology Empowerment Project (CTEP) bridges the “digital divide” for new Immigrants and low-income communities in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. Join AmeriCorps CTEP and help make the information age accessible to all. CTEP is a project of Saint Paul Neighborhood Network (SPNN).

Member Duties : Some of the specific skills that would be most beneficial to these populations include filling out online employment applications, basic email etiquette/skills, using the classroom management system, introductory Word, PowerPoint, and Excel skills as well as basic skills in using PCs and accessing internet resources. The CTEP Member would be welcome and encouraged to contribute to and expand upon existing programming, such as our popular video game night, which we feel fulfills an information literacy goal. With five full-time university computer lab employees providing one-on-one basic computer help to patrons, the critical way the CTEP Member would develop our organization's capacity is by providing formal programming for basic computer, software, Internet, email, and job-hunting skills. The CTEP member will also help build capacity across the university by sharing the importance of digital literacy with staff and faculty.
