In this course you will gain the expertise to work as a librarian, archivist and records manager in a diversity of organisations.

You will learn to think as an information specialist and apply knowledge in environments such as public and academic libraries, community and national archives, and government and corporate records offices.

You’ll learn how to collect, organise, access, curate and preserve information in ethical and meaningful ways, equipping you to develop and manage services and collections that document history, inform the present and engage communities.

You’ll also complete three-week practicums in a records/archives setting and in a library/information centre, gaining real-world experience and opportunities to develop your professional networks. In addition, you’ll have the choice of completing a substantial research project or undertaking an internship (25–30 days) in an archives, library or records work environment.

Upon graduation you’ll qualify for information-management roles that include community programming, digital collections and curation, metadata and classification, records systems design and digital preservation.
