The Summer Institute for Knowledge Sharing is an intensive four days of instruction and dialogue for professionals involved in creating, sharing and preserving electronic information in museums, libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage institutions.  Invited are information specialists, registrars, librarians, archivists, curators, researchers, and educators with responsibility for managing and disseminating collections information on line.  Participants attend sessions in which they work closely with leading professionals, UCLA professors, and 40–50 fellow attendees from around the United States and abroad.  The course will feature sessions on:

• Collection digitization projects:  Challenges and institutional implications.
• Creating, organizing, and accessing digital resources:  Models, principles and tools for information and imaging systems.
• Collaborating:  Working together and solving problems with others.
• Funding: Challenges, strategies, and opportunities.
• Digital Preservation Technologies:  Current Research.

In addition to coursework, participants have the opportunity to take part in a number of events designed to complement their workshops, including an introductory continental breakfast, collegial luncheons, an opening night reception, time to visit to the J. Paul Getty Museum and a closing reception at the Getty Center.  Sessions and events will be held on the UCLA campus and the Getty Center.
