Illinois to hold summer institute for data curation activities

Application Deadline: March 7, 2009

Data curation is the active and on-going management of research data through its lifecycle of interest and usefulness to scholarship, science, and education. With support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, GSLIS has been a pioneer in the development of data curation education within library and information science. Last year’s institute focused on data curation for science data. This year’s workshop focuses on data services and curation activities for humanities data, particularly in academic libraries.
