About the course

The mission of the Graduate Certificate in Library and Information Science (GCLIS) is to equip paraprofessionals, current master's degree students and master's degree graduates with specialized competencies and problem-solving abilities in a particular area of librarianship or information studies chosen from the wealth of courses offered by the School. For instance, if a GCLIS student would like to update his or her skills in a particular area, he or she may select courses that offer training in recent technologies, techniques, or skills that either were not obtained in a previous degree program or have become outdated. Additionally, a student might obtain the GCLIS in order to acquire the requisite training for new employment opportunities. Students may mix and match from the entire catalog of courses offered by the School but may not apply more than nine (9) GCLIS credits toward a master's degree.
