Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2006 Workshop "Developing a Digital Libraries Education Program" June 15, 2006, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Chapel Hill, NC, USA Indiana University and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will be offering a full-day workshop aimed at digital library professionals, researchers, and educators, covering prominent issues surrounding digital libraries education. The workshop is based on an IMLS-funded collaborative digital library education project. This 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. The workshop will also feature a student panel, providing them with the opportunity to contribute to the discussion. 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 Deadline: May 15th, 2006 http://jcdl2006.org/program/ If you have questions please feel free to contact me.
