Public officials, archivists, records managers, librarians, and other data professionals face challenging issues with public information stewardship. Because of the growing importance of collaboration between subject-matter experts and public servants when tackling issues of information management, nearly everyone has become a steward of public information. Stewards must appreciate the varying interests involved in public information collection and preservation as well as continue educating themselves and attaining new skills that are required in such a fast-changing professional environment. This symposium will address many issues that the modern public information steward faces on a daily basis.
Experts sharing their knowledge and experience in a series of presentations and panel sessions include (but are not limited to):
* Sarah Koonts, State Archivist of North Carolina
* Andrew Perrin, Professor of Sociology at UNC-Chapel Hill
* Matt Veatch, State Archivist of Kansas
* Theresa Pardo, Director of Center for Technology in Government at University of Albany
*The symposium is brought to you by the Institute of Museum and Library Services-funded project "Educating Stewards of Public Information Infrastructure (ESOPI2)."
Hope to see you in Chapel Hill on the 30th! -Helen
