Overview

In an era characterized by the proliferation of information, the role of the school librarian is more important than ever. School librarians teach students, teachers and community members how to find and use reliable information, how to be responsible and responsive digital citizens, and how to be both consumers and producers of information.

Features

Our fully online Information Science School Library program at the University at Albany is purposefully designed to prepare candidates to be information professionals and leaders as teacher/librarians in New York State and across the nation.

We integrate learning experiences throughout the program that enable students to document evidence of their practice on student learning. Thus, in addition to mastering information literacy and technology competencies, our graduates are assessment literate.
