[Asis-l] Apply to the CUA SLIS "Visions of Italy" Summer 2012 Study Abroad Program!

[Roberts, Kristin H.]

Applications for the May 26-June 9, 2012 "Visions of Italy:  Culture in Twenty-first Century Rome and Florence" CU Abroad/School of Library and Information Science Course are open! The final deadline for applications, including the $100 application fee, is January 13, 2012. All CUA students, undergraduates and graduates, can apply. We hope you will join us for this exciting learning opportunity to visit the Vatican Library and Archives and many other cultural heritage institutions in Rome and Florence.

"Visions of Italy" will be an exciting and illuminating course during which we will gain a basic knowledge of how Italian cultural professionals make museum, archival, and library resources known to various user groups through a combination of site visits--including a visit to the Vatican Archives and other cultural institutions--meetings with professionals, and readings.  We will explore various types of public programs, outreach strategies, and digital and physical exhibits, study the principles and practical elements involved in creating each, with site visits and instruction designed to reveal the ways the application of such principles occur in existing institutions and apply learning in their public programming.
