Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2006 Workshop "Developing a Digital 
Libraries Education Program"

June 15, 8:30A-5P
Chapel Hill, NC, USA

Indiana University (IU) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 
(UIUC) will be offering a full-day workshop, aimed at digital library 
professionals, researchers, and educators to cover prominent issues surrounding 
digital libraries education.  It is based on an Institute of Museum and Library 
Services (IMLS) funded collaborative DL education project.  It is the second 
year of a three-year project.  We have spent the past year recruiting our first 
classes of Digital Library Fellows, learning about the requirements of the 
digital library profession, and developing new courses.  The workshop will 
bring together a number of speakers on topics of interest to digital library 
educators and working professionals.  The workshop will provide the opportunity 
for IU and UIUC, other IMLS grant recipients, and several representatives from 
DL programs in other countries to report on project details, including 
requirements analysis, curriculum development, and program evaluation.

Specific topics to be covered are:
Defining the domain of "digital librarianship"
Core competencies in technical areas
Core competencies in user, social, and legal areas
Management of projects, systems, and people
Balancing theory and practice
Advanced Registration Rates: May 15th, 2006
