Course Overview
This new, online course is designed to equip library staff who don’t have an MLS degree with the essential knowledge and skills needed to fully understand the ‘how and why’ of library work. We will cover foundational topics such as universal library values, including intellectual freedom, information literacy, and privacy. We will also discuss the basics of collection development and weeding along with the fundamentals of library programs, services, and community engagement. Leave this course with a better understanding of the context, mission, values, and scope of libraries to apply to your everyday work.
