By the end of the course, you’ll be demonstrably information literate, a valuable trait in the era of the information economy. Organisations in almost every sector look for people who are adept at designing, creating and maintaining the systems needed to manage ever-larger quantities of data and information. You’ll benefit from a combination of practical and theoretical study, giving you a well-rounded overview of the modern library and its importance.
