Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2006 Workshop "Developing a Digital 
Libraries Education Program"

June 15, 8:30A-5P
Chapel Hill, NC, USA

Indiana University (IU) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 
(UIUC) will be offering a full-day workshop, aimed at digital library 
professionals, researchers, and educators to cover prominent issues 
surrounding digital libraries education.  It is based on an Institute of 
Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funded collaborative DL education 
project.  It is the second year of a three-year project.  We have spent 
the past year recruiting our first classes of Digital Library Fellows, 
learning about the requirements of the digital library profession, and 
developing new courses.  The workshop will bring together a number of 
speakers on topics of interest to digital library educators and working 
professionals.  The workshop will provide the opportunity for IU and UIUC, 
other IMLS grant recipients, and several representatives from DL programs 
in other countries to report on project details, including requirements 
analysis, curriculum development, and program evaluation.

Specific topics to be covered include:
Defining the domain of "digital librarianship"
Core competencies in technical areas
Core competencies in user, social, and legal areas
Management of projects, systems, and people
Balancing theory and practice
