“Digital Libraries Degree Launched at Johns Hopkins”
From the article, “Digital Libraries is a new concentration within Johns Hopkins University’s (JHU) Masters of Arts in Communications in Contemporary Society. Classes will begin in the fall of 2003 at the university’s Washington Center in the District of Columbia. The communication in contemporary society program was begun in 2001 to address the transformation of the information professions in the digital ages, “and no profession has seen greater change than librarianship,” said Peter Decherney, the program’s associate chair. Jim Neal, then dean and director of JHU’s Sheridan Libraries, taught a course on libraries in the digital age in 2001. It is now the core course in the program, and is being developed and taught by his successor, Winston Tabb. Other courses include communication law and policy, digital objects, digital rights management, and electronic publishing.”
