What will I learn?

The library is a vibrant, socially focused place of learning, digital technology, and community. It exists in a variety of environments-public, academic, non-profit, school, corporate and government.Tech-savvy and customer-oriented, library technicians assist users in finding information, develop and provide programming, and support literacy. They also acquire, prepare and organize information in a logical and timely way-a skill essential to the success of many organizations. You’ll develop the skills necessary for this industry with a combination of library and information management-specific courses. In addition, you will take courses such as Sociology, Psychology, and English to help develop the wide range of knowledge needed for success in this human service-based career. A practicum at the end of the second year will help solidify classroom learning and allow you to make valuable contacts in the field.
