With the ongoing digitization of workflows and the creation of new online services, IT competencies have risen in demand.3 years ago, the school of library and information management at Stuttgart Media University started with the process of overhauling their curriculum in response to this change.The presentation will cover the challenges of integrating new IT subjects like programming, data management, database design and web-based services into a library science curriculum. It will discuss which competencies were considerd necessary for modern metadata management tasks and the didactic concepts that were developed to teach these to a heterohenous audience.
