Description:
New Page 3

The following program is designed for those who desire a specialization in library and information technology skills.

In this Information Age, the role of libraries in providing for the knowledge needs of all sectors of the population is expanding. Widespread use of the Inter-net has sparked an increasing demand for the work of library and information specialists in organizing and retrieving information from the vast storehouse that exists.

While library and information centers retain their traditional study tables and shelves full of books, increasingly they are being transformed into computerized clearinghouses for the rapidly evolving information technology. Electronic catalogs, on-line databases, CD-ROM products and the Worldwide Web provide almost unlimited access to the information people need for lifelong learning, and for both work and recreational activities.

Employment opportunities in libraries and through-out the rest of the information management field are growing. Acquiring, organizing and preserving, and state requirement for the Library Media Specialist Endorsement for those who have a New Mexico teaching certificate.
