Dear All, As you may know, the DPC with ARA, and the Universities of Aberystwyth, Dundee and University College London is hosting a half day student conference entitled 'Digital preservation: What I wish I knew before I started'. It will focus on practical workplace skills in digital preservation and will bring a select group of leading practitioners together with the next generation of archivists, records managers and librarians to discuss the challenges of digital collections management and digital preservation. In a lively set of presentations and discussions, each of the speakers will be invited to reflect on 'the things I wish I knew before I started', or 'what I actually do all day' giving students an advantage in their own career development, and helping those who frame the curriculum a chance to extend their students' readiness for the workplace. The conference is being held at Birkbeck College London on 24/01/2013 and places are free.
As expected the conference is very popular and there are now only a few places remaining. Registration will close when we reach capacity or on 16th January whichever comes first. For more details and to register go to: http://www.dpconline.org/events/details/50-StudentConference2013?xref=53 and please don't delay if you want to be certain of a place.
