This postgraduate certificate builds knowledge and skills related to technological change and how digital technologies are reshaping libraries and their services, including the digital competencies needed to assess the opportunities and impact of current and emerging technologies within an organization. A capstone project, a culminating activity and ongoing active learning give students conceptual insight and practical leadership strategies for addressing digital technology issues in library and information settings, developing fluency skills for active participation across all types of libraries. It serves as ongoing professional development and gives college and university graduates a route to broaden their learning.
