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).
