The =20= primary goals of the DigCCurr project are to develop a graduate=E2=80=90le= vel =20 curricular framework, course modules, and experiential components to =20 prepare students for digital curation in various environments. =20 DigCCurr initiatives in support of this goal are informed by =20 representatives from the project=E2=80=99s collaborating institutions as = well =20 as an Advisory Board of experts from Australia, Canada, Italy, the =20 Netherland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The first symposium, DigCCurr2007: An International Symposium in =20 Digital Curation, was held April 18=E2=80=90 20, 2007, attracting nearly = 300 =20 attendees from ten countries. Participants explored the definition of =20= digital curation and what skills are necessary for digital curation =20 professionals working in libraries, archives, museums, data centers, =20 and other data=E2=80=90intensive organizations.

How do we approach these effectively? Where do practices and =20= research converge and diverge across different organizational mandates =20= and requirements? Strategies for building and leveraging relations and =20= cooperation among a global audience of digital curation researchers =20 and educators for improved delivery of digital curation research and =20 practice opportunities for emerging professionals. =E2=80=A2 Teaching and training at the international level: What are the = =20 barriers and advantages in providing quality and comparable education? =20= How does the profession traverse credentials and certification? =20 Graduate education and continuing education for practitioners; =20 Examination of current teaching tools; Recruiting students; =20 Perceptions on the changing professional competencies and personal =20 attributes for employment in digital curation environments. =E2=80=A2 Digital curation in relation to archives and museums: How is = the =20 environment shaping traditional responsibilities? How are synergies =20 developing across libraries, archives, and museums? What are core =20 competencies in digital curation?

Examination of scope, extent, relevance, and =20= quality of current literature. What is useful? What is missing? =E2=80=A2 Infrastructures in support of digital curation. How well is = current =20 technology meeting the needs of digital curation, and what should =20 future technology research and development involve to better meet =20 these needs?
