THE SUMMER SEMINAR to LONDON

The School of Information and Library Science at the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill and University College London invite you to attend
the inaugural offering of a new summer seminar: British Libraries and
Librarianship: Past, Present and Future. The seminar will be held between
May 16th and 29th, 2010.

This two-week summer seminar offers an opportunity to gain an in-depth view
of libraries and librarianship in Great Britain. Participants may also earn
three hours of graduate credit for attending.

The seminar will be held in London, one of the most historic and dynamic
cities in the world, and will feature lectures, presentations and tours of
libraries and cultural heritage institutions in England. Although most of
the program will take place in London, there will be day trips to visit the
university libraries at both Oxford and Cambridge.

ACTIVITIES
In addition to the libraries at Oxford and Cambridge, participants will
visit the British Library, the National Archive, the Imperial War Museum
(including its library) and the Wellcome Library (including the History of
Medicine Collection). Visits will also be made to other types of libraries
including public libraries and a newspaper digitization project.

Some free time will be built into the program so that participants can
explore London and visit other libraries and cultural institutions of their
choice. The weekend will be free so participants can visit places of
interest in London, Great Britain, or Europe.

LOCATION
The seminar will take place in Bloomsbury, the academic and literary heart
of London. Bloomsbury is home of University College London and the UCL
Department of Information Studies, co-sponsor of the seminar. It is also
the location of Winston House, an 18th century townhouse which serves as
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's "campus" in London.
Winston House is located around the corner from the British Museum in
Bedford Square, "the oldest remaining complete Georgian garden square in
the city." Many of the lectures will take place there.

Participants in the seminar are able to earn three hours of graduate
academic credit through UNC at Chapel Hill. Lectures and site visits will
be arranged by the faculty of the UCL Department of Information Studies,
the largest and one of the most highly ranked LIS Schools in the United
Kingdom. A UNC faculty member will accompany the group and will serve as
the academic advisor to all participants taking the course for credit.

The London Seminar program is open to all students and professionals, not
just students at UNC at Chapel Hill. Librarians at all stages of their
careers are welcome to participate.

ACCOMMODATIONS
All participants will be housed in the Janet Poole House, a Georgian
townhouse conveniently located close to both the Winston House and UCL.
Housing will be provided in studio apartments with kitchens and sitting
areas. The Janet Poole House is in the center of Bloomsbury near public
transportation and a variety of restaurants. Cost of the accommodations is
included in the price of the seminar.

COST & REGISTRATION
The registration fee for participants covers housing, instruction, a few
meals, transportation to Oxford and Cambridge and a basic travel card for
transportation on the London public transportation system (bus,
underground, and light rail) within the city. Other meals, transportation
from the airport to the Janet Poole House, additional local transportation
fees and airfare to and from the seminar are not included. Each participant
is responsible for organizing his or her flights to and from London.

COST
The price for this seminar is:

• Shared accommodation (roommate): $3,500

• Participant plus guest: $6,250

A guest is defined as someone who accompanies you on the trip (usually a
spouse) and shares a room with you but does not participate in any of the
instructional sessions and most tours.

If you are interested in a single room, we may be able to provide one.
Please get in touch with Michael Penny ([log in to unmask]) for more

If you intend to take this course for credit, the UNC Cashier's Office will
