INTRODUCTION
The Graduate Certificate in Information Services offers a first
award at graduate level for those interested in school librarianship
or records and archives management. It is intended for students
who want an introduction to industry best practice and to the
knowledge and skills underlying professional information services
delivery and management in these areas. The Knowledge
Services Area of Specialisation will be of interest to those whose
interests in the provision of information and knowledge services
lie in emerging knowledge-based industries. Professional
librarians, teacher librarians, archivists and records managers will
find this area of specialisation a useful means of updating and
broadening their professional knowledge base.
The Graduate Certificate in Information Services is recognised as
an exit point from the Graduate Diploma of Science (Information
Services) and the Master of Information Services.
Students who successfully complete the Graduate Certificate in
Information Services are eligible for advanced standing in
certain areas of specialisation of the Graduate Diploma of Science
(Information Services) and the Master of Information Services.
