The goal of the Library program is to prepare all students for transfer, vocational, and to become lifelong learners to function effectively in a highly technological society with an information-based economy. Library systems are designed, and the staff is organized and committed, to achieving the following objective: to help users develop information competency, a broad-based literacy that includes the skill to identify, retrieve, evaluate, and apply information to a problem-solving context.

PROGRAM FEATURES

Students are enrolled into a digital homeroom that acts as an extension of the classroom. In the homeroom, students and professors can interact across the Library Technician courses, ask general questions, find out about volunteer and job opportunities, view digital information sessions and interviews with library professionals. 

The Library Technician program courses are certified by the American Library Association’s Library Support Staff Certification (LSSC). The LSSC is designed to recognize the value and accomplishments of Library Support Staff and is recognized nationwide, demonstrating your mastery of key competencies that the ALA has deemed most valuable for library assistants and technicians. The certificate can help you market yourself when applying for job, help you demonstrate skills that transfer between states, and helps you network with peers and professionals in your field.
