DIGITAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT BASICS - CALL FOR TRAINERS
The Library of Congress and the Association for Library Collections &
Technical Services (ALCTS) are seeking trainers for a new training initiative.
BACKGROUND
In November 2000, the Bicentennial Conference on Bibliographic Control for
the New Millennium was held to bring together authorities in the cataloging
and metadata communities to discuss outstanding issues involving improved
discovery and access to Web resources. One resulting recommendation was the
development of training and continuing education to improve bibliographic
control of selected Web resources. The Cataloger's Learning Workshop (CLW)
has been established as a clearinghouse for cataloging and metadata
training. 'Digital Project Management Basics' is the last of five workshops
developed to support the goal of improving bibliographic control of Web
resources. Information about CLW is available at:
<http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/>
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
'Digital Project Management Basics' is a one-day workshop with the goal of
preparing attendees to serve as project leaders and team members in digital
library projects. Topics covered include:
* Creating a project management roadmap
* Collaboration and team building
* Grant writing and development of a feasible work plan
* Project assessment
A more detailed outline of the workshop is available at:

INSTRUCTOR DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR
