The large-scale digital repositories that are emerging today
and expected to
increase exponentially during this century will require
information managers
with the skills to acquire, manage, organize, preserve, and
provide access
to massive amounts of data for use and re-use by a variety
of
interdisciplinary and heterogeneous communities over time.
Where will these
managers come from? What skills will they need? Are there
core competencies
that span libraries, archives, museums, and other
large-scale repositories?
How can employers identify a well-prepared workforce for the
21st century
repository? 
This workshop, organized by the US Institute of Museum and
Library Services
(IMLS) and the School of Information and Library Science of
the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will address these
questions through
presentations and discussion among educators and other
interested
participants. International perspectives are invited. 
IMLS has invested more than $100 million since 2003 in the
education of
librarians, archivists and data curators through both formal
and continuing
education programs. This timely funding has enabled graduate
schools of
library and information science to reshape their curricula
to address the
emerging need for digital data managers. Are we prepared to
meet the
challenge?
