This course provides an overview to archival theory and philosophy, archives principles and practices, and records management framework and approaches. The course aims to expand one’s general perspective on information science while also providing a holistic foundation, both in principles and praxis, to those individuals aspiring to pursue further studies and training in archiving and records management. At the end of course, the students will archive the collected documents with respect to their provenance and original order, to protect their context and to achieve physical or intellectual control over the materials.
In this course, you will be introduced to the theories, practices, and issues involved in preserving information resources. You will learn how to properly care for and protect different types of library and archival materials, including paper-based and audiovisual (AV) materials. Throughout the course, you will not only study preservation concepts but also apply what you have learned through hands-on activities. You will have the opportunity to examine actual damaged records and determine which materials may require preventive conservation.
In this course, you will learn both the theories and practical applications of educational technology and how these can help you design, develop, implement, and evaluate effective instruction. You will explore different technologies and learn how to integrate them into various content areas to make teaching and learning more engaging, interactive, and meaningful. Throughout the course, you will participate in hands-on activities where you will design and develop an ICT-based instructional plan. You will apply the concepts and skills you learn by creating technology-supported learning materials and instructional activities. Simply put, you will learn not just how to use technology, but how to use it effectively as a tool for teaching and learning. By the end of the course, you should be able to confidently integrate appropriate ICT tools into your future instructional practice.
In this course, we’ll take a broad and exciting look at the world of museums. Think of this as your introduction to how museums really work — their purpose, their mission, and what makes each one unique.
We’ll focus on the core professional areas of museum work: Leadership and Management, Collections, Interpretation, and Community Connections. These are the pillars that keep museums alive and relevant. You’ll begin to see that working in a museum is not just about displaying objects — it involves planning, organizing, storytelling, research, and connecting with communities.
We’ll also explore how multidisciplinary museum work is. Whether it’s art museums, history museums, natural history museums, or even small community-based museums, each one requires a wide range of skills and knowledge. By the end of the course, I want you to appreciate how dynamic and diverse the museum profession truly is.
In this course, we will focus on how to select and evaluate library materials that match the reading abilities, interests, and needs of children (birth–12 years) and young adults (10–18 years). You will learn how to assess books and other resources to make sure they are age-appropriate, engaging, and meaningful for young readers.
We will also explore the different genres of children’s and young adult literature and understand their important role in schools, libraries, and communities. By the end of this course, you are expected to develop the skills needed to promote quality literature in various formats and help young readers build a lifelong love for reading.
In this course, we’ll talk about different cultures and communities and how libraries can better serve everyone. We’ll focus on multicultural ideas, common issues, and the kinds of services libraries can offer to people from diverse backgrounds—especially Indigenous communities. You’ll also learn why Indigenous knowledge is important, and how we can help document and preserve it.
As future librarians, I encourage you to support the inclusion of Indigenous and multicultural perspectives in library policies, services, and programs. This helps make libraries more welcoming, fair, and respectful places for all kinds of people.

This course is designed to help you prepare for the Librarian Licensure Examination as you move toward graduation. We will focus on three major subject areas that are included in the board exam: Selection and Acquisition of Multimedia Sources of Information, Cataloging and Classification, and Indexing and Abstracting, based on the coverage set by the Professional Regulation Commission.
Throughout the course, we will review key concepts, principles, and practical applications from these areas to strengthen both your knowledge and test-taking readiness. You will also be expected to organize and compile important review materials — such as lecture notes, handouts, and practice questions — so you’ll have a structured and reliable set of resources to use as you prepare for the examination.
By the end of the course, you should feel more confident, well-prepared, and academically equipped to take the licensure exam and move forward into the library and information profession.
This covers a systematic methodology for analyzing problems or opportunities in relation to library processes, determining what role computer-based technologies can play to address library needs, articulating requirements for the technology solution, specifying alternative approaches to acquire the technology capabilities needed to address the requirements and specifying the requirements for the information system solution. Student will create a project proposal for library operation and services system this is base from the feasibility study or preliminary investigation they created last midterm.
