Catalog Description
PCC’s Library Technology Program prepares students for entry level Library Assistant and more specialized higher-level Library Technician positions in all types of libraries under the supervision of a librarian. Coursework includes hands-on instruction in library operations and services, including training in the use of specialized automated library systems, library service principles, and essential workplace customer service, technology, and workplace communication skills. The program highlights job-related skills and practices needed to enter and succeed in the library workplace as well as continuing education opportunities for those currently employed. PCC’s Certificate of Achievement program is aligned with the American Library Association’s Library Support Staff Certification. A Certificate of Achievement is awarded upon completion of all required courses with a grade of C or better. An AS is awarded with the successful completion of the major certificate plus general education units totaling 60.

Program Goal
This proposal requests the expansion of PCC’s existing Certificate of Achievement in Library Technology (TOP Code 1602.00) to be eligible as an Associate in Science Degree. Expanding the Certificate for eligibility as an Associate in Science Degree will provide more library employment options for students because higher level library jobs typically require or prefer a college degree. This Associate Degree will provide students an expedient pathway to higher-level library jobs. Many Library Technology Certificate students come to the program with some college credit. This Associate Degree expands options for these students, as well as supporting the College’s completion goals.
