Online Graduate Program Deadline: February 1, 2008

The University of Arizona School of Information Resources and Library Science, Tucson, is calling for applicants for its online graduate-level certificate program in digital information management, commonly know as DigIn. The second cohort begins summer 2008, with a February 1, 2008 application deadline. The program prepares students to build and manage digital collections in a variety of government and private settings. Students will learn to apply key concepts and technologies through case studies, applications, theory, and hands-on work with metadata, content management systems, and real-life digital collections. Students complete the certificate with a capstone course involving an individual project and electronic portfolio. Many complete the six-class, 18 credit hour online course of study in 15 months, and extended options are available. DigIn is supported with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which will be providing a generous number of scholarships.
