Digital Curation Gap

Dramatic progress of research and development on digital curation and professional practices of archivists, librarians, and museum curators in the past decade.

There are now many viable applications, models, strategies, and standards for long-term care of digital objects.

However, many institutions are either not aware of the options or do not currently have the ability to evaluate and implement them.

Need for Lifelong Education Never before has there been such a need for

continuing education for library, archiving, and IT staff.

An amazing array of materials to monitor, read, and absorb.

“Best practice” or even “good practice” is a moving target.

The web has not made this easier. Nice also to have face-to-face educational

opportunities to make sense of it all and learn with people from similar backgrounds.

Need for practitioner-researcher networks.12/10/2012

Challenges in Building Vocational Education Programs - Content

What is the inherent content that needs to be taught/learned/utilized? Body of theory and practice Findings from research Best practice and techniques Standards

What is the source of this content? Leading-edge practitioners Academics & research projects Industry

Challenges in Building Vocational Education Programs - Audience

Who is the audience? What does the audience already know? What credentials do they already have? How heterogeneous is the audience? What sub-groups are there in the

audience? What roles are individuals in and what are

their responsibilities and foci? What technology and technology skills do

individuals/organizations have?12/10/2012

More Challenges

How will this all be packaged? How will it be delivered? What will it cost? What will people/institutions pay? How long will it take? Should there be a formal

credentialing program with exams and continuing education credits for re-certification?

Challenges

Turning the framework and the lenses into programs and coursework.

Selecting viable delivery modes. Articulating between graduate and

continuing education. Continuous updating.
