Howdy, During the Q&A portion of the session on "Developing a Digital Libraries Education Program" at the Forum last week, several people indicated an interest in signing up for individual courses within the Digital Library program at the Graduate School of Library & Information Science at UIUC without actually enrolling in a full degree program. GSLIS does offer non-degree students the opportunity to take graduate-level courses via the Academic Outreach Community Credit program, including courses offered through our LEEP distance education program. Information regarding the Community Credit program at GSLIS, including links to the forms needed to request enrollment in a particular course, can be found at: http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/programs/cpd/Community_Credit/ That page also contains links to the lists of courses which are open for community credit enrollment each semester; for this summer, DL courses open for community credit enrollment include a course on Digital Social Sciences being taught by William Wheeler and a course on Topic Maps being taught by Patrick Durusau. The courses open for community credit enrollment for Fall semester haven't been settled yet, but you can submit a form requesting enrollment in a course for Fall now, and the School will send out notifications in July as to whether or not we'll be able to meet that request. LEEP courses being offered this Fall that might be of interest to DLF members include: Biodiversity Informatics (LIS590BDL) Foundations of Data Curation (LIS590DCL) Digital Libraries: Research & Practice (LIS590DIL) Electronic Publishing & Information Processing Standards (LIS590EPL) Interfaces to Information Systems (LIS590IIL) Information Modeling (LIS590IML) Feel free to send me any questions you might have about the Community Credit program or the DL-CAS degree program.
