We are now accepting applications from practicing academic librarians and
other information professionals for the GSLIS Summer Institute on Data
Curation. Up to two people from a single institution may apply. The
Institute will be limited to 24 participants.



The Data Curation Education Program (DCEP) at the Graduate School of Library
and Information Science (GSLIS) is holding its annual Summer Institute at
the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.



This year the Institute will have invited sessions from leading specialists
in the management and curation of research data across the Life Sciences.
Over the course of the four day Institute, participants will consider best
practices for managing and preserving various data types, questions
surrounding multi-scale data collections, and data identity and ontologies.
Participants will have an opportunity to engage with data science experts
and information professionals while learning:



§ principles and best practices for data curation activities;

§ approaches to partnering with domain scientists and data communities;

§ current information organization standards and approaches for Life
Sciences data;

§ data management planning and data publishing; and

§ technical aspects of data repository systems and repository development
planning (goals, institutional commitment, responsibility, collection
development policy, preservation plan).

University), Melissa Cragin (Univ. of Illinois), Peter DeVries (Univ. of
Wisconsin), W. John MacMullen (Univ. of Illinois), Carole Palmer (Univ. of
