Abstract
This article describes the development of a curriculum specialization, Cultural Heritage Information Management (CHIM), at a library and information science (LIS) graduate program. It was designed to address market needs, created by the convergence of practice in libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) of emerging practices in managing unique collections for greater access in today’s digital information environment. A competency-based approach was adopted to ensure that students achieve relevant competencies expected in the work environment of the LAM sector. The course of study serves as a guide for career preparation in the CHIM area, by listing core courses, highly recommended courses, and electives. The article discusses processes involved in the development and implementation of competencies into the curriculum reorganization, and benefits observed from the process, offering an example of adopting the competency-based model to organize a specialization.
