GRADUATE AWARDS FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDY IN DIGITAL LIBRARIES
The Rutgers University Distributed Laboratory for Digital Libraries (RDLDL) is pleased to announce the availability of competitive graduate awards for interdisciplinary doctoral studies in digital libaries, including contributing technologies and relevant basic research.
Digital libraries is an exciting new domain for research, and for society at large, and the RDLDL is taking a leading role in establishing an explicitly interdisciplinary approach to the variety of problems in this burgeoning area. Current faculty members of the RDLDL come from the disciplines of cognitive science, computer science, library and information science and psychology, and students in the program are expected to participate in research and to take courses in two or more of the disciplines represented in the RDLDL.
Successful candidates will participate in digital library-oriented research projects with several faculty members of the RDLDL, as well as being enrolled in a Ph.D. program in one of the disciplines associated with the RDLDL. They will also take part in an interdisciplinary seminar involving the faculty and all of the other graduate students associated with the RDLDL.
The RDLDL Awards offer tuition remission and an annual stipend of $13,000, and the opportunity to achieve an interdisciplinary education for research in the interdisciplinary field of digital libaries. These awards are tenable for one year in the first instance, beginning in either January or September 1999, and are renewable.
For further information, including the specific interests of the RDLDL faculty, and application materials, please see the RDLDL WWW site,
