Certificate Programs The Youth Literature Online Certificate Program is a 15 credit graduate-level online program of study for librarians, teachers, and others concerned with preserving and passing on the rich literary heritage to children and young people in a technological age. Examples of courses include Children's Literature Goes to the Movies; The Art of the Picture Book; and Man of Advantage: Books and Boys in Middle and High School Years. In each state in the U.S., certification for school librarianship is governed by the state's Department of Education. We offer online graduate-level courses for people who are pursuing Associate School Library Media Specialist certification in the state of New Jersey; and degreed librarians who wish to make a career change to school libraries. For a complete description of the certification process and pathway for school librarians in the state of New Jersey, please see our FAQ about School Library Certification webpage . Preservation Management Institute is designed to give you a grounding in the range of preservation issues, technologies, and management strategies to advance a preservation program. We can help you understand the physical nature of your holdings, the environmental and storage issues that affect them, the options for repairing and replacing them when they are damaged, and the possibilities for providing electronic access to their contents. We place preservation administration in the context of the other management issues you face daily. Our online, on-the-job training program is designed for people who work in academic and research libraries as support staff, library assistants and associates, and technicians. We explore some of the "big picture" issues in libraries, provide an overview of library values, functions, and practices; and foster an understanding of how each function fits into the mission and processes of the library. Master's Program Our online classes have the same content as our on-campus courses and are taught by the same combination of faculty and adjunct instructors as our on-campus program. The online classes use an asynchronous mode of delivery, which means that you do not need to be online at a given time during the week; but, the classes do have schedules, discussions, assignments, and deadlines that must be met throughout the semester. The online program is generally for part-time study. Other Classes About Online Learning
