Building on the success of its inaugural Prague Seminar earlier this
year, the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at UNC at Chapel
Hill is now taking registrations for a return visit to the Czech Republic
in June 2003.
The two-week program for library science students and professionals will
begin June 1, and run through June 15. Modeled after the school's popular
"Libraries and Librarianship: Past, Present and Future" seminar
to Oxford and the Bodleian Library, now in its 11th year at SILS, the
Prague program features lectures and tours relating to librarianship in
the former communist nation.
Co-sponsored by Charles University, the seminar available for academic
credit through UNC at Chapel Hill. A SILS faculty member will serve as the
seminar's academic advisor.
Those interested in registering for this inaugural seminar should visit
the school's Prague
web site, which features detailed pricing information as well as a
list of planned excursions and activities. Space is limited; early registration
is encouraged.
SILS graduate student Nicole Urquhart, participated in this year's inaugural
Prague seminar. "Prague is a wonderful city with many beautiful and
interesting libraries," she said. "It was such a pleasure to
visit the different institutions, both old and new, and at the same time
get to know the city."
