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 IMLS-funded scholarships are available for students entering the
program in Fall 2010. The application deadline is July 1. Late applications will be accepted, but
admission for Fall cannot be guaranteed if materials are received after July 1.

The DigIn program features hands-on experience and focused instruction supporting a wide range of
professional careers involving digital systems and data. The certificate includes six three-credit
courses designed to build students’ hands-on technology skills, and to help students acquire the
advanced knowledge needed to curate digital collections, manage digital projects, and to set
policies for access and long-term preservation.

For information professionals already working in the field, or those considering career changes, the
DigIn certificate offers a flexible path for graduate studies. 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 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.
