Library and Information Technician is a part-time Ontario College Diploma from Conestoga's continuing education division, led by experienced librarians. Combining theory and hands-on practice, students learn to acquire, organize, produce, retrieve and disseminate information in print and electronic formats, preparing for employment in academic, public, school and special libraries and other information-service settings. All courses must be completed within seven years of acceptance into the program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Conestoga's Library and Information Technician diploma requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma at the general or advanced level, or equivalent, or mature student status for applicants 19 years of age or older by the program start. The stated English prerequisite is Grade 12 Compulsory English at the C or U level, or equivalent. The program's own admissions page does not separately publish an IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Duolingo or CAEL score, so applicants whose prior education was not in English rely on Conestoga's institution-wide requirement that non-Canadian and non-English-instruction transcripts be assessed by a credential-evaluation service such as ICAS or WES, with proof of English proficiency judged against the college's general admission standard. No portfolio, interview, minimum grade average beyond the stated English course, prior work-experience threshold, or background-check condition is listed for this diploma; applicants are assessed against these published academic and language conditions before an offer is made.
