ICE Forum (London 2011)
International Curation Education Forum
Date: Wednesday 29 June, 2011
Location: University College London, The Roberts Building, Torrington
Place, London,WC1E 7JE
**Please reserve the date in your calendar . registration will be
available next week**
The aim of this event will be to provide an international meeting place
for educators, trainers, students and practitioners of digital curation
to: discuss, evaluate, swap knowledge, and potentially improve practice
around:
a) effective curricula and course design
b) production of advice and guidance materials (beginner, intermediate and
expert)
c) creation and use of textbooks and scholarly material
The principal focus of the day will be on enabling all participants to
learn as much as possible about the latest developments in digital
curation teaching and training.
Presentations will be combined with structured networking, lightning talks
and feedback sessions to maximise opportunities for examining a wide range
of approaches.
The event is being subsidised and led by JISC in association with: the
Digital Curation Centre (DCC); the Institute of Library and Museum
Services; the School of Library and Information Science, University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and the Department of Information Studies,
University College London.
The Forum will be an ideal opportunity for a number of different groups to
congregate including: academics; curation training professionals; digital
curators; repository managers; archivists; records managers; data
managers; data librarians; publishers; commercial service providers; and
students.
It should be of interest to anyone who attended the DigCCurr conferences
at UNC Chapel Hill (2007 & 2009) and will also build on the discussions of
the IDEA (International Digital Curation Education Action) Group. The
programme is being put together by an international advisory group and
will be announced shortly.
The venue for the forum will be the UCL Roberts Building, a recent
addition to the UCL Bloomsbury campus and home to the University's
engineering faculty (http://bit.ly/fEXyJV). The venue is in the heart of
the Bloomsbury university precinct and is convenient for all the cultural
and social delights that Central London has to offer. A registration
process is being setup and will be announced as soon as possible along
with the draft programme. A small fee will be payable for attendance at
the event in order to offset some of the costs.
