Study in London this summer!

An exciting opportunity to earn six graduate LIS credits while living  
in central London is being offered by the Florida State University  
College of Information.  Two multimedia production courses, taught  
from June 26-August 7, 2008 at the FSU London Centre, will use London  
and the surrounding areas as a backdrop for creating projects such as  
podcasts, websites, short films, and digital photography.  No prior  
experience with these media is required. Most 2-day per week classes  
will be field trip based.

Other pertinent information:

The two courses being offered are: LIS 5313: Design and Production of  
Media Resources and LIS 5362: Design and Production of Network  
Multimedia. Participants must take both courses and they will be  
focused on application of media to libraries and teaching and  
learning. Students will have the opportunity to apply course material  
to their current work situation if desired.

The FSU London Centre is housed in a 17th century building that FSU  
owns in the heart of 'literary London' and very close to the shopping  
district and to the theater district.  It is less that one block from  
the British Museum.  Students live there or in nearby apartments.

London provides superb cultural exposure. The variety of arts,  
theatre, performances, and other cultural venues available in London  
is stunning, and almost all of them provide student rates. Often the  
school has inexpensive play tickets available. London, like New York,  
has a half price booth for play tickets on the day of performances.  
London has some of the best museums, historical attractions, and  
buildings in the world.

Cost is $7125 for both in-state and out-of-state participants.  The  
fee includes all registration and instructional costs for up to 6  
undergraduate or graduate credit hours; program social/cultural  
activities; health insurance; international student ID card; T-shirt;  
full-time academic and administrative support.

The course is open to students from other universities who may wish  
to transfer the credits, or to non-students (media specialists,  
teachers, and librarians) who are interested in this exciting summer  
opportunity.  Credits earned in this program may be later transferred  
into the master’s degree program at FSU for students who may be  
accepted at a future date.  These offerings are regularly offered  
graduate courses.

Deadline to register is January 21, 2008.
