Reviews:

"The discussion groups and exercises were extremely valuable. Being about to talk about things helped me to practice what would become my elevator speech to my resource allocators."

"The readings were very valuable for getting up to speed on the topic. Discussion of the many research projects related to digital curation and their application to current best practices."

"I loved the discussions about the importance of policy, as well as the information on standards. Standards are not one of my strong points, but the presenters did an exceptional job of articulating how they operated and why they were important. It's a good start for me to go on to further reading and research."
