Library Media Connection, Nov2007, Vol. 26 Issue 3, p36-38, 3p; (AN 27423440) "The article focuses on the development of a professional development program aimed at providing the needs of librarians and teachers so that they will be able to meet the academic standards in Ohio. The INFOhio Instructional Development Task Force (IDTF) explores the use of videoconferencing system including the use of the INFOhio electronic resources, EBSCO and Britannica.
