Librarianship Program

The Librarianship Program at CSULB is designed to prepare fully-qualified, outstanding librarian professionals, and emphasizes meeting the information and reading needs of its diverse youth population. It offers a Library Media Teacher services credential and a Master of Arts in Education, Option in Librarianship degree.

The state and NCATE-accredited program is based on the principles and philosophy of Information Power, the American Association of  School Librarians' guidelines. As such, the program emphasizes the triple role of the Library Media Teacher as Teacher/Partner, Information Specialist and Program Administrator.

The program is strongly committed to the principles of equal opportunity for diverse populations. Assignments, readings, and course objectives emphasize the importance of multicultural / multilingual programs and materials. Course delivery is provided in face-to-face and online formats to meet the needs of various communities.
