Online Seminars...
In fields that are changing as rapidly as library science
and information technology, it is essential that library staff remain
current by continuing their education and professional development.
Sorting through and assimilating all the changes, however, can be quite
daunting, as we all well know.
That's why the Library Science Program at Doņa Ana Community
College offers several one-credit seminars each semester, on a variety of
topics. A mere four weeks in length, these courses are offered
completely ONLINE, to allow you to study at your convenience.
Reasonable pricing makes them even more accessible. You can
register for one course, or for several.
Not only will these courses be of immediate help to you in
your job, but they can also be applied as electives toward the Associate
of Applied Science Degree in Library Science at DACC.
