********************************************* After five years in Los Angeles, the Summer Institute for Knowledge Sharing is coming to Boston's Simmons College.
From July 12-15, 2004, the Graduate School of Library and Information Science will present an intensive four days of instruction for professionals involved in creating, sharing, and preserving electronic information in museums, libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage institutions. Invited are information specialists, registrars, librarians, archivists, curators, researchers, and educators with responsibility for digital collections.
Experienced and knowledgeable instructors from across the country lead attendees from around the United States and abroad. Through lectures, group discussions, and exercises, participants will be immersed in the issues and decision points that institutions face in the acquisition, management, dissemination and preservation of digital collections. Special attention will be paid to the increasing convergence between museum, library, and archive practices and perspectives in the digital environment.
In addition to course work, participants will take part in a number of events designed to complement their instruction including luncheons, receptions, and visits to sites off campus.
Early enrollment is encouraged.
Course fees: $850 (by May 1, 2004), $900 (after May 1, 2004). For registration information and more see:
