University of Maryland, College Park

University of Maryland will hold a workshop to create the building blocks of a master's level educational curriculum to educate the next generation of librarians and archivists in the computational treatments of collections. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2019 iConference meeting, and involve library and archival educators as well as technologists. Project outputs will include a framework for creating curricula and lesson plans, open access tools for institutions to deliver this type of educational program, and a community development plan to seed future collaboration in this area.
