The BitCuratorEdu <http://bitcuratoredu.web.unc.edu/> team invites all
people who consider themselves digital curation instructors - from full
faculty at ALA-accredited LIS programs, to continuing education providers
and volunteer peer trainers - to participate in a study on educational
providers. The BitCuratorEdu project seeks to help education providers
build the curriculum they need to prepare our profession’s workforce for
the digital backlogs that await them in a variety of institutional
contexts. The administered surveys will gather data to support project
research questions and deliverables, which include a white paper and set of
open, reusable learning elements or modules. The survey should take
approximately 15 minute to complete. The survey will close on March 9,
2020. Please share this survey to anyone you know who teaches digital
curation topics in any educational setting.

If you are teaching in a formal ALA-accredited LIS program, please fill out
the academic provider survey: http://bit.ly/bc-academic-survey

If you are teaching in any other environment, including continuing
education environments, please fill out the continuing education provider
survey: http://bit.ly/bc-cont-ed-survey

The BitCuratorEdu project is a three-year effort funded by the Institute of
Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to study and advance the adoption of
digital forensics tools and methods in libraries and archives through
professional education efforts. This project is a partnership between the
School of Information and Library Science at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Educopia Institute <https://educopia.org/>,
along with the Council of State Archivists (CoSA), the BitCurator Consortium
<https://bitcuratorconsortium.org/>, several organizations that provide or
facilitate professional continuing education, and several Masters-level
programs in library and information science. BitCurator is an open source,
free community-built software environment widely used across libraries and
archives to prepare digital material for long-term access and preservation.

Thank you in advance for participating in our research or sending it along
to a colleague who will. If you have questions about this study or the
BitCuratorEdu project, please contact the Project Manager or the Principal
