Online Seminars...

In fields that are changing as rapidly as library science and information technology, it is essential that library staff remain current by continuing their education and professional development.  Sorting through and assimilating all the changes, however, can be quite daunting, as we all well know.

That's why the Library Science Program at Doņa Ana Community College offers several one-credit seminars each semester, on a variety of topics.  A mere four weeks in length, these courses are offered completely ONLINE, to allow you to study at your convenience.  Reasonable pricing makes them even more accessible.  You can register for one course, or for several.

Not only will these courses be of immediate help to you in your job, but they can also be applied as electives toward the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Library Science at DACC.
