Beginning in the 2005-2006 school year, the Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will offer a structured Certificate of Advanced Study in Digital Libraries. Five one-year, non-renewable fellowships will also be available to CAS and MS degree students wishing to focus on digital libraries. The program aims to give students a thorough and technically focused background in digital libraries that will enable them to serve as designers, decision-makers, and creators of digital collections
