Documentation – Gestion de l'information (393.B0) is a six-term technical program at Collège de Maisonneuve leading to a Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC); the college is the only French-language cégep on the island of Montreal to offer it. The program trains students to organize and manage printed and digital information held by libraries, documentation centres, and records and archives departments, to facilitate client access to documentation, and to design and lead information-related activities. Students learn to apply rigorous methods to materials on both print and digital formats using tools specific to documentation settings, and to support users through outreach, promotion, and training activities. The program offers two areas of specialization that students can pursue according to their interests. Field training includes a short observation placement in the first term in a setting such as a public, school, college, or university library or a specialized archives centre, followed later in the program by two four-week placements, one in a library or documentation centre and one in an archives or records-management setting; an international credited placement may also be available. Graduates can work as documentation, archives, or records-management technicians, librarians' technicians, or collection-services agents across a range of institutions. It suits students interested in organizing and providing access to information in both physical and digital forms.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Techniques de la documentation – Gestion de l'information (393.B0) states no specific secondary-level prerequisite course: "Aucun préalable".

Applications go exclusively through the SRAM (admission.sram.qc.ca). The programme is open to international students and Sport-Études athletes, each with their own application process, but no minimum grade, language score, portfolio, interview or competitive average is stated. International applicants must additionally meet the college's own requirement of French at level B2 in all four skills (TEF, TCF tout public, CIEP or Bright-langue).
