What do new professionals working in museum libraries and archives need to learn in graduate school?  That is the question that Tula Giannini, Dean and Professor Pratt Institute School of Information & Library Science (SILS), are working on this year.  We are interviewing curators, directors, researchers, technologist and other stakeholders. Dean Giannini will publish our findings in whitepaper this spring.

The publication will be one of the culminating pieces of Project M-LEAD, an IMLS funded project at SILS and the Brooklyn Museum, that supports internships for 30 students preparing Information Professionals for careers in Museum Libraries and Archives in the Digital Age.
