Curate Thyself: Defining and Cultivating an Academic Trajectory in Digital Curation
Calling all doctoral students!  Are you conducting or planning to conduct research on digital curation?  Do you hope to pursue a career direction that focuses on digital curation?  Then we have an event for you.
Come to Chapel Hill to share ideas, strategies and advice about research and academic life.  Present your work to colleagues and faculty.  Receive mentoring and advice from a set of internationally-recognized experts, and cultivate your social network in this increasingly important area of research and professional practice.
The School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will be hosting "Curate Thyself" on March 17 (8:30 AM - 7:00 PM) in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  Faculty participants will include:

This day-long Symposium, followed by a Digital Curation Education Experts Meeting mark the closing of almost 7 years of funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) for DigCCurr (Digital Curation Curriculum) projects at the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at UNC-Chapel Hill. The DigCCurr team of faculty and Ph.D. Fellows will lead the symposium that will provide an opportunity for current PhD students interested in digital curation research to collaborate, connect, and develop shared resources for research and education. The symposium will provide mentoring and advice on research processes and products. All students will contribute by participating in a poster session highlighting their research (in progress or completed). Some students with participate in panel presentations on their research and their path to conducting that research. Instructional sessions will focus on developing and strengthening a digital curation research agenda. Participants will also discuss strategies for collaboration, publishing, and seeking funding as well as teaching strategies, developing and implementing course materials, characterizing your teaching to employers, and developing programs and curricula. Students will create and share their own plans for further development of their research.
Participants will be encouraged to stay in Chapel Hill on March 18 (9:00 AM - 5:00 PM) for a Digital Curation Educator Experts Meeting. Participants will include:
