Below are news briefs and resources recently featured on LJ's InfoDocket (www.InfoDocket.com) that will be useful to reference staff in academic and public libraries. (Note: Model Diplomacy was not included on InfoDocket.)

Geared toward high school and college students, the program features a library of case studies developed by experts "to teach students about the issues, institutions, and processes that determine how American foreign policy is made," explained Will Davis, deputy director of campus outreach at CFR, in an email to LJ. "But the cases are also designed to reinforce the fundamentals of critical thinking, effective verbal and written communi- cation, collaboration, and problem-solving."
