[Lib-helig-l] New fully funded Masters degree in IT for LIS professionals

*** Apologies for cross postings / Please distribute widely, especially in Africa ***

 

An exciting new programme for university librarians and LIS faculty in Sub-Saharan Africa!

 

The Department of Information Science at the University of Pretoria, South Africa, received a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to establish a Masters programme in IT for university librarians in Sub-Saharan Africa working in an IT environment and LIS faculty at LIS Schools in Sub-Saharan Africa.

 

This is a two-year coursework Masters with a number of coursework modules and a mini-dissertation of limited scope.

 

The programme will make use of a blended learning methodology - technology-mediated distance education as well as on-site, face-to-face lectures. The programme is fully funded, making provision for, amongst others, registration fees and travel and accommodation costs during a two- to three-week block visit per semester for on-site lecturing. Lecturing will take place in Pretoria, South Africa, as well as in the USA at the Universities of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Wiscosin-Milwaukee and in Uganda at the Makerere University.
