Real library and information professionals don’t just serve their communities, they empower them

New Librarianship

iSchool Offering New Librarianship
Open Online Course in July

Libraries have existed for millennia, but today the library field is searching for solid footing in an increasingly fragmented (and increasingly digital) information environment. What is librarianship when it is unmoored from cataloging, books, buildings, and committees?

This open online course will be offered in a guided mode during the month of July. After that month the class will be opened online, but CEU or academic credit options will no longer be available.
