with Library Juice Academy, is yet one more way in which we can further that commitment,” expressed Evan T. Struble, Associate State Librarian for Library Development. “In particular, in response to our recent digital collections survey, the State Library
recognized a specific need for additional support revolving around digitization and digital preservation.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">The six required courses are asynchronous, virtual, and can be taken in any order from August 2022 through July 2023. No additional software or textbooks need to be
purchased, but students will need access to a laptop or desktop computer with an internet connection and an updated web browser. Each four-week course involves approximately fifteen hours of work to complete. As this is a pilot program, we will be working
closely with the cohort throughout the year to develop programming and materials supplementing Library Juice Academy’s course material. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
