The Library Technical Assistant program will give you an understanding of the history of libraries and the functions and roles of the different types of libraries, and will have an understanding of and be functionally proficient in: basic library technical services including ordering, processing, and copy-cataloging of the variety of types and forms of materials found in libraries; library public support services including circulation, interlibrary loan, and basic reference, and computer operations as they relate to library functions.
As a library technical assistant, you might work under the supervision of librarians in circulation, technical processing, reference and audio-visual services. You also might assist librarians in the preparation and organization of materials and help patrons use the library.
