Highlights
The Digital Curation Curriculum Symposium, (DigCCurr, pronounced ‘Didge Seeker’) is an event series organised by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), with the aim of providing a forum for discussing both the latest research in digital curation, and how to teach this to library and information students
DigCCurr 2009 featured an impressive array of speakers, in an ambitious programme covering everything from practical preservation tools to the underlying philosophy of digital curation
The curricular aspect to the discussions is something that sets this symposium series apart from other conferences of its kind, and this is no bad thing; given the old adage that the best way to understand something is to explain it to others, one can see in the development of a digital curation curriculum a sign of a discipline that is reaching maturity
