The Library Information Technology (LIT) Program will equip you with the practical and conceptual skills needed to work in highly automated libraries and information agencies at the paraprofessional level. Whether you seek the A.A.S. Degree in order to become a paraprofessional or transfer to a 4-year college, or if you earn a certificate, MCTC’s LIT program will train you in the ethical, legal and professional frameworks for delivering library and information resources to communities. Both the degree and the certificates are offered in a fully online environment.
