UNC SILS summer seminars open to ALL students and professionals

UNC Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science (SILS) welcomes participation from non-UNC students or professionals on our international summer seminars to Dublin and Berlin or to Prague. Our program in Dublin/Berlin might be of interest to individuals studying business, information science, project management, technology, or startups. Our program in Prague focuses on international librarianship. The deadline for enrollment is mid-March.

For those of you who work with students in any capacity, please share these opportunities with both undergraduates and graduates. Because we also welcome professionals, feel free to distribute to alumni, or perhaps you'd consider attending yourself!

Dublin/Berlin (May 22 - June 6, 2017)
The seminar will focus on the ways information gathering, dissemination, privacy, and security affect business. In both cities students will participate in business visits and will have the opportunity to network. Possibilities include Facebook, Red Hat, Google, and others, including startups. The program is also in partnership with University College Dublin and Humboldt University of Berlin, and is also comprised of academic lectures and cultural excursions. Offered for 3 hours of academic credit. To learn more or register: https://sils.unc.edu/programs/international/dublinberlin. Registration deadline: March 10, 2017.

Prague (May 21 - June 3, 2017)
Participants on this program will enjoy lectures and tours related to librarianship in a country that deals with a history of monarchy, empire, Communism, and the meeting of east and west. Participants experience firsthand how the democratization of the Czech Republic, formerly a communist state, has affected the accessibility of information, in both print and electronic forms. Offered for 3 hours of academic credit. To learn more or register: https://sils.unc.edu/programs/international/prague. Registration deadline: March 15, 2017.
