Academic publisher Emerald Group Publishing, UK, ASLIB and the Association for Information Management have announced the launch of Pathways to Information Leadership, an accredited online Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme, developed and delivered with Aberystwyth University. Prospective students can browse available courses and sign up by visiting www.infoleader.org.
This is a unique and innovative collaboration between three leading information management service providers who came together to address what were becoming very obvious challenges for the busy information professional.
The result was a partnership to deliver a programme that offers a range of high-quality courses specifically designed to enhance the skills of practising information professionals.
Prospective learners can sign up to Pathways to Information Leadership courses and start studying at any time. They gain instant online access to all course materials via a wide range of mobile devices. Once they have successfully completed the online assessment at the end of the course, learners receive a certificate of participation validating their efforts. Participants can also opt to submit a formal written assessment, which, if successful, will give them 5 Master's-level credits towards postgraduate qualifications in Information Leadership.
This makes it easy for aspiring information leaders around the world to develop their professional skills and knowledge at their own pace.
The Pathways to Information Leadership programme covers Digital Information Collection Development and Curation; Digital Information Governance, Rights and Ethics; Digital Information Structures; Information Asset Protection and Assurance; Resources and Risks in the Digital Environment; and Strategic Information Leadership.
