Title

Master of Science in Information and Library Management

Programme Purpose

Given the transformative and increasingly diverse nature of the sector, information and library professionals need analytical, organisational, communicative and strategic skills built on a systematic understanding of the principles, theory and application of information and library management. The MSc in Information and Library Management provides that theoretical foundation and exposes learners to the necessary skills required for managing the retrieval, organisation, and dissemination of information in modules such as Information Organisation, Information Architecture for the Digital Library and Educational Services in Library and Information Organisations. Beyond integrating traditional library skills with modern information technologies, this programme focuses on critical thinking, advanced research capabilities and the practical skills and management of library and information organisations, laying a strong foundation for learners stepping to roles within the library sector or pursuing academic research. Learners will participate in classroom-based lectures - either online or on campus, practical workshops, group work, presentations and online lectures and tutorials, notwithstanding the significant amount of independent study required at masters level, all of which will be supported by directed online content. Over one-year full-time or two-year part-time, the programme consists of eleven taught modules of 65 ECTS and a capstone project of 25 ECTS, leading to an award of Master of Science in Information and Library Management that is accredited by both Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI) and the professional body, the Library Association of Ireland (LAI).
