Certificate in Library and Information Sciences

The creation, dissemination, and manipulation of information in this information age, has become the most important economic and cultural activity. The Library and Information Sciences field is primarily concerned with the retrieval and management of information in all forms. This field is becoming increasingly important as technology advances. Therefore, the Certificate degree in Library and Information Sciences focuses on equipping students with the fundamental theoretical and practical skills needed to correctly handle information and enable users to readily access it while navigating the digital environment. Furthermore, this will be helpful in the preparation of a workforce capable of working in any firm engaged in information activities. During two semesters, this course will be taught in English/Sinhala in collaboration with the Library of the University. The academic staff of the Library is capable of completing this course successfully.
