DIGITAL CURATION

The Digital Curation Curriculum (DigCCurr) project (IMLS RE-05-06-0044) is developing a graduate-level curriculum to prepare students for digital curation in various environments. This poster reports the findings from a survey of digital curation professionals, assessing their perspectives on barriers to digital curation; core curriculum competencies and functions; and professional competencies and hiring practices.
