Our Program

The Library Technology Program equips students with essential library, customer service, and information literacy skills to ensure they are well prepared for today's dynamic information landscape.

Offering a Library Technology certificate and associate of arts degree, the program caters to the needs of the next generation of library paraprofessionals. Graduates are eligible for diverse roles, including school library specialists, library technicians, clerks, pages, catalogers, and billing specialists. Geared towards meeting the workforce demands of local school, city, county, academic, and special libraries, the program plays a vital role in shaping our community's library professionals.

Our Library Technology program prioritizes flexibility to accommodate our students' demanding schedules. All classes are offered online and in an asynchronous format, except for one elective hybrid class (LIB 062), ensuring that students can balance their academic pursuits with other commitments.

Visit the Library Technology page in out SBVC Catalog for more information about our current classes and degree and certificate requirements.

Library Technology is part of the Public Service, Culture, Society Pathway. Visit our Guided Pathways page for program maps and career data.
