Library Publishing Curriculum Pilot Workshop: Content
UPDATE (August 10, 2018): Due to lower-than-expected registration, we have decided to decrease the number of workshops offered at the DLF Forum. Rather than hosting two separate workshops, we are hosting a single workshop on the Content module taught by Matt Ruen.
Date: Sunday, October 14 (full day)
Location: M Resort, just outside of Las Vegas, NV
Registration fee: $100 (includes breakfast, lunch, and multiple coffee breaks)
Apply to attend the workshop (deadline extended to October 8).
The Library Publishing Coalition and the Educopia Institute, in collaboration with the Digital Library Federation (DLF), are excited to host an in-person workshop at the 2018 DLF Forum based on the IMLS-funded Developing a Curriculum to Advance Library-Based Publishing project. The full-day workshop will take place on Sunday, October 14 (the day before the Forum) at the M Resort just outside of Las Vegas, NV. The workshop is limited to 20 participants, to be selected through a brief application process. While the workshop is affiliated with and will complement the DLF Forum, please note that you do not have to attend the Forum to participate in the workshop. See below for workshop description, scholarship information, and application instructions.
Note: This workshop is based on the Content module of the Library Publishing Curriculum released in March of 2018. Learn more about the release!

It also shares information about common production workflows, identifying the resources and staff skills needed to support various editorial strategies and content types.
