Digital Preservation in LIS Education: A Content Analysis of Course Syllabi
Yoon, Ayoung; Murillo, Angela P.; Anders McNally, Paula
Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, v62 n1 p61-86 2021
Following a revolution in digital information and technological development, both the need for and opportunities in digital preservation education have been growing over the last 30 years. This study aimed to examine digital preservation course content through an analysis of course syllabi to understand what is taught in library schools through the graduate level. Our analysis demonstrates the significant growth in digital preservation education during the last decade but also presents several areas that need to be improved, such as more integration of technology into the courses, providing advanced courses, developing core sets of literature, and developing more content for teaching issues related to ethics and diversity.
