This course is designed for professionals in museums, libraries and archives who have or expect to have responsibility for using information systems for collections management, research, educational, and public programming. Because of the emphasis on team approaches to work across departmental and institutional boundaries, we encourage information managers and content specialists, including registrars, librarians, archivists, curators, and educators, to attend. Registration fees include instruction, handout materials, transport between venues, lunches and any specially scheduled receptions.
