Introduction
Enormous quantities of data are constantly being produced and stored
electronically: the volume of born-digital data far outstrips print, mass
digitization efforts are being launched by institutions of all kinds, and
personal devices that can capture images and video are commonplace. In this
new environment, it is becoming increasingly clear that libraries, archives,
and museums – indeed, cultural heritage institutions of all types – face
shared challenges. In response, these disciplines – library and information
science, archival studies, and museum studies – increasingly share
overlapping educational goals. Only in the past five years or so, however,
have significant efforts been launched in these programs to develop
curricula to identify and meet these educational goals. We encourage
researchers and educators in any of these or related disciplines to discuss
the development, implementation, or evaluation of entire curricula,
individual courses, or professional development programs to meet these
educational goals, in the Winter 2011 issue of JELIS (Volume 52, no. 1).

Submission Procedure
Authors are invited to submit an abstract for the paper on or before April
30, 2010.  Both research and conceptual papers are welcome. Abstracts should
not exceed 150 words, and should succinctly state the scope, objectives, and
conclusions of the paper, as well as methodology and results, as
appropriate. The guest editor will review the abstracts and provide
suggestions and feedback by May 15, 2010.  The deadline for submission of
full manuscripts will be June 30, 2010. The JELIS submission guidelines are
available at http://jelis.org/for-authors/. Full manuscripts will be
reviewed using the double-blind review process. Authors will be notified of
the referees’ decisions by September 1, 2010, and final revisions will be
due October 1, 2010. Selected papers will be published in the Volume 52, no.
1 in Winter 2011.

Inquiries and abstract submissions can be forwarded electronically to
