Tuesday, October 1, is the last day to register at early-bird rates for the Digital Archives Specialist (DAS) courses being offered by ARL and the Society of American Archivists (SAA) at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, October 21–25. You do not need to work at an ARL library to register for the courses at this site—they are open to all librarians and archivists.

Do you want to develop your skills for appraising, capturing, preserving, and providing access to born-digital special collections? Could you use some insight into working with donors? Would you like to grow your community of colleagues, especially those located in the southwestern US? Register for one or more of these four courses:

  • Oct. 21: Preserving Digital Archives
  • Oct. 22: Digital Curation: Creating an Environment for Success (note revised date)
  • Oct. 23: Digital Archives and Libraries (note revised date)
  • Oct. 24–25: Digital Forensics (newly expanded to two days)

Registration

Register online at the SAA website. Registration is per course—participants are not required to sign up for the whole week but are offered a package discount if they do.

Early-bird registration prices—valid through October 1—are based on the registrant’s status as one of the following:

  • SAA member: $189/day, or $144/day if all four courses are taken
  • Employee of an SAA institutional member: $219/day, or $174/day if all four courses are taken
  • Employee of an ARL member institution: $224/day, or $179/day if all four courses are taken, via a “co-sponsor promotion” (a $25/day or $45/four courses discount from the non-member price)—contact Judy Ruttenberg for the co-sponsor promotion registration code.

Future Offerings

The courses will be offered at nine additional ARL institutions in 2013 and 2014. Visit the ARL website for the list of host institutions.
