Program details

Overview

This two-year diploma prepares students for work across different library settings, carrying out core day-to-day operations alongside librarians. It covers providing materials, information and services to those who use the library, and builds skills in acquiring, preparing and organizing every type of library material with software built for the library and information sector.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or acceptance as a mature applicant, with English at the Grade 12 C or U level or an equivalent course as the only stated subject prerequisite. Canadian citizens and permanent residents short of the English prerequisite may instead pass Seneca's pre-admission test, and applicants who do not meet the subject requirement are directed to upgrading options. International applicants must additionally meet Seneca's own published English-language requirement, with further documents or assessments requested where needed; neither this program's page nor its admission-requirements page states an IELTS, TOEFL or other numeric test score, or a minimum grade average. A mature-applicant pathway (19 by the first day of classes) waives the OSSD itself while the program's English prerequisite still applies.
