This program might be of interest for you, Kristine, as you investigate online
degrees that aim to bridge technology and museum/library professions. Feel
free to contact me if it looks interesting as I'm in the program.
Best,

June 2009 - For immediate release
The University of Arizona Digital Information Management (DigIn) Certificate
program is currently accepting applications for Fall '09. IMLS scholarships are
available.
-
The University of Arizona School of Information Resources and Library Science is
pleased to announce that openings are available in the school's graduate
certificate program in Digital Information Management (DigIn), and that
scholarships are available for students entering the program in Fall 2009.
DigIn combines intensive, hands-on technology learning and a strong grounding in
the theoretical principles needed to manage large-scale digital collections in a
fast-changing environment. The program supports a wide range of professional
careers involving digital collections, including but not limited to libraries,
archives, and museums.
Graduate certificates are increasingly being recognized as a means for
information professionals with advanced degrees to enhance their knowledge and
technology skills. DigIn is also open to professionals who are new to the field
and who may be considering a masters-level education in the future.
The program is delivered 100% online and has no residency requirements. Students
generally complete the certificate in four or six semesters (15 months or 27
months).
DigIn now accepts applications before the start of the Summer, Fall, or Spring
semesters. The application deadline for Fall '09 is July 1. Late applications
will be accepted, although we cannot guarantee admission for the fall semester.
DigIn was developed in cooperation with the Arizona State Library, Archives and
Public Records and the University of Arizona Outreach College. Major funding
for the program comes from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services
(IMLS), which has also provided scholarship funding.
Additional details on the program including course descriptions, admissions
requirements and application forms may be found on the program website:

Subject: [MCN-L] Advice on advanced degree for museum technology
Hi everyone,
Could anyone offer advice on an advanced degree that would helpful for
working with emerging museum technology? I've considered a Masters in
Museum Studies but the curriculum seems too broad. I'm a Registrar and
I'm particularly interested in digital image standards, rotational
photography, online databases, virtualization, etc.. We have IT staff at
my current institution but I'd like to try to keep up. I know enough to
be dangerous, but that's about it!
Is anyone aware of a program that merges technology and the arts or
humanities? Or is there a straight technology degree or certificate
that you would recommend instead? An online degree or one offered in
Wisconsin would be particularly helpful.
Thank you for your input.
