Lectures, labs and project work develop both technical and communication skills needed in modern library environments. This diploma suits people who enjoy supporting learning, organising information and engaging with diverse users. It prepares you for roles in municipal, regional or institutional libraries, archives, schools, health regions and private organisations, where you may work on the front line with patrons or behind the scenes in technical and managerial capacities.
