It is not surprising that there is a rapidly increasing demand
for information professionals who can manage the burgeoning
data generated by the nation’s researchers, serve as stewards of
the nation’s cultural legacy, and meet the needs of businesses
and government agencies as they manage their growing volume
of digital assets. This relatively new and pressing need has
created a rising demand for archivists, librarians, and museum
professionals who are trained to apply the latest tools and
methods to effectively manage and preserve material that is born
digital or converted to digital form.
