[LIBRARYDIR] Library Degrees/Certificates

Wed Mar 29 12:01:15 PDT 2017

Spokane Falls Community College offers the online Library and Information Science<http://www.spokanefalls.edu/TechProf/LibraryTech/Home.aspx> program with a number of degree options available.
The program used to be part of the SFCC Library Division, but in the 2012 reorganization at CCS, the program was moved to the Human Services Department which is part of the Social Sciences, Accounting, Economics & Human Services Division.

Both SCC And SFCC libraries have two classrooms each reserved for information literacy instruction sessions led by library faculty.

Highline is no longer offering a degree program, as employers weren't requiring it for library paraprofessionals, and our enrollments were low. The department did a program review and developed short term certificates in Public Services and Technical Services, feeling that was a better match for the professional development needs of incumbent library employees wanting to build skills. Enrollments have continued to be soft, so we've suspended those certificates for now.
Interestingly, the area of the program where we continue to have very strong enrollments is in courses required for the school library/media endorsement.

It looks like Highline did drop their program. Thank you all for your feedback. We are working on our curriculum and program review for an upcoming accreditation visit.

Does anyone else NOT have your own library classroom? Or, are we the only ones? : )

Thanks - Melinda

SPSCC doesn't offer anything along these lines either.

Edmonds does not offer a library certificate or degree program, or a credit bearing class. It is my understanding that Highline is no longer offering a library certificate program, either.

Hi All,

Does your school offer a library certificate or degree program? How about a credit bearing class?

Thanks!
