Academics / Specializations / Digital Libraries  
   

May enter this specialization in the Fall Semester.

 
   

This specialization offers the knowledge and skills essential for a successful career in the Digital Libraries field, focusing in particular on relevant information technologies, information organization principles, and end-user needs. 

Digital libraries represent one of the most rapidly growing fields, and the career opportunities are increasing dramatically. The Digital Libraries Specialization will prepare future information specialists to design, develop and manage digital libraries and repositories, to work as data librarians and digital content managers, as Web masters and information architects. 

The 36-credit course of study can be completed within one year and will focus on digital library design and development, information management, and content development.  The School of Information Sciences is ideally positioned to offer such a program of study, since the specialization draws on both the Information Science and Library and Information Science disciplines, for which the School has garnered a national reputation. 

For more information about this specialization, contact Dr. Christinger Tomer at ctomer@mail.sis.pitt.edu or Dr. Peter Brusilovsky at peterb@mail.sis.pitt.edu.
