Abstract

We report results of research into curriculum development for dual degree programs and the development of a dual degree curriculum jointly undertaken by the University of North Carolina's School of Information and Library Science (SILS) and School of Government (SOG). This IMLS-funded program provides training in public information stewardship to four cohorts of eighteen masters' level students. The curriculum development rests upon previous curriculum development projects, examination of masters' programs throughout the world, semi-structured interviews of public sector information experts, recommendations from an expert Advisory Board, and focus group responses from current and alumni project Fellows.
