Metronet is a consortium established in 1980 to facilitate cooperation among libraries. It coordinates various programs and activities for libraries, including History Day at Your Library and the Metronet Information Literacy Initiative (MILI). MILI is a professional development program that focuses on incorporating information and technology literacy standards into classroom teaching using tools like blogs, wikis, and other Web 2.0 technologies. Participants attend monthly webinars and meetings to share knowledge and suggestions. School districts provide credits and incentives for teacher participation and help enable classroom use of discussed tools.
