[Asis-l] JCDL Education for Digital Stewardship Workshop

[Helen Tibbo]

Dear Digital Library and Archives Colleagues,

Please join me at "Education for Digital Stewardship: Librarians, Archivists
or Curators?"

Workshop at the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 
June 20, 2008, 8:30 AM - 3:45  PM
Pittsburgh, PA USA

The large-scale digital repositories that are emerging today and expected to
increase exponentially during this century will require information managers
with the skills to acquire, manage, organize, preserve, and provide access
to massive amounts of data for use and re-use by a variety of
interdisciplinary and heterogeneous communities over time. Where will these
managers come from? What skills will they need? Are there core competencies
that span libraries, archives, museums, and other large-scale repositories?
How can employers identify a well-prepared workforce for the 21st century
repository? 
This workshop, organized by the US Institute of Museum and Library Services
(IMLS) and the School of Information and Library Science of the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will address these questions through
presentations and discussion among educators and other interested
participants. International perspectives are invited. 
IMLS has invested more than $100 million since 2003 in the education of
librarians, archivists and data curators through both formal and continuing
education programs. This timely funding has enabled graduate schools of
library and information science to reshape their curricula to address the
emerging need for digital data managers. Are we prepared to meet the
challenge?
