Apologies for any cross-posting. Dear All, We have a few places remaining on the Digital Preservation Training Programme, 29th-31st March 2010. It will take place at The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), London. See http://www.dptp.org/2009/11/next-dptp-course2010/ for more information. The Digital Preservation Training Programme (DPTP) is an intensive 3-day course designed for all those working in institutional information management who are grappling with fundamental issues of digital preservation. It provides the skills and knowledge necessary for institutions to combine organisational and technological perspectives and devise an appropriate response to the challenges that digital preservation needs present. DPTP is operated and organised by the University of London Computer Centre with contributions from leading experts in the field. Here is a sample of the feedback over the last few years: "…the most beneficial and well presented, thought out course that I've ever attended in 10 years as a professional" "Thanks to you for your efforts to consolidate all digital preservation related subjects in one course. I believe this has enabled the participants to understand the wider picture of digital preservation in a national and international context." "Well done, excellent content and a very enjoyable course" "The course was very good and value for money" "…thanks to all of you for your work on the fantastic DPTP course. It was without doubt the best training course I've ever been on, and I'm sure I'll be referring to my folder for years to come. Somehow you even managed to transform the OAIS model from something confusing and a bit scary, into something understandable!" Please use the online booking form to register your interest in attending the March 2010 DPTP. Places will be strictly limited and will be assigned once all applications been received. We will contact you by email once we have received your booking, with full details of payment methods, cancellation policy, and terms and conditions. The course costs £650.00 exclusive of VAT. Lunch and other refreshments are included in this price. The Digital Preservation Coalition is also generously offering three scholarships so that DPC members and associates can participate in the Digital Preservation Training Programme in London in March 2010.
