[menges at uw.edu]

The Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science is
pleased to announce a new post-master's certificate in Digital Stewardship.

The Digital Stewardship Certificate (DSC) is a fully online, five-course,
post-master's program that imparts the concepts and skills needed to create and
manage a sustainable digital repository, library or archive. It prepares
graduates to manage digital objects over time through active, ongoing oversight
of the total environment (content, technologies, and user expectations).

The DSC can be completed in either three or five semesters. The first course,
Digital Stewardship, will be taught by distinguished GSLIS faculty member and
DSC Director Ross Harvey in Summer 2012. For more details about the program, or
to apply, please see: http://www.simmons.edu/dsc

Simmons alumni are eligible for a course discount of 20%. Application deadline
is April 10, 2012.
