Symposium in NC: Preparing Stewards of Public Informaton in a Digital World

If you can make it to Chapel Hill in January, you might want to attend this symposium, co-sponsored by the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Government and the School of Information and Library Science (and the price is right–only $45). I know this has been posted on a number of lists, so apologies for the duplication:

The symposium will include panel discussions and other interactive sessions related to lessons and strategies for professional preparation to engage in public information stewardship.

    The ESOPI-21 Symposium web page is available at: http://ils.unc.edu/esopi21/symposium10.html
    .

    The themes of the day will include persistent issues in the stewardship of electronic records; the “policy game” – what it is and how to play it successfully; advancing professional values through IT policies and systems; and professional education – context and strategies of SILS and the SOG at UNC.

    The symposium is part of Educating Stewards of Public Information in the 21st Century (ESOPI-21), which is a three-year collaboration between SILS and the SOG at UNC-CH, sponsored by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
