A newly awarded federal grant means more University of Arizona students working in underserved libraries and museums in Arizona and across the nation will be certified in digital information management.
The UA's School of Information Resources and Library Science has just received a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services at more than $910,000.
The funding goes to the UA school's "Promoting Diversity in the Digital Curation Disciplines" project, which is promoting enrollments in the digital information management, or "DigIn," graduate certificate program.
Funding from the institute, which provided the initial grant to start the DigIn program two years ago, comes with a matching grant at nearly $202,000.
All told, the funding amounts to more than $1 million, most of which will partially and fully fund student scholarships. Also, SIRLS received a one-year extension for the original Institute of Museum and Library Services grant, which was due to expire this month.
