[Nicole Purviance]

Are you looking for professional development for you and your staff? Through
the i.School Open Classes program
<http://ischool.sjsu.edu/programs/ischool-open-classes?utm_source=listservs&
utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AssocListsOpenClassesEmailNov14>  at the San
Jose State University School of Information, you can enroll in exclusively
online, master's-level courses and update your skills and knowledge.   

 

This spring, we are offering nearly 60 courses
<http://ischool.sjsu.edu/programs/ischool-open-classes/course-topics/spring-
2015-course-list?utm_source=listservs&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AssocLis
tsOpenClassesEmailNov14>  on a variety of topics, such as information
assurance, data mining, digital preservation, metadata, and participatory
practice in libraries. There are also several one-unit courses, allowing you
to explore a topic with just a four-week commitment. For example, you can
learn about human resources management, financial management, or consumer
health librarianship through a one-unit course.

 

You'll earn college credit with each course, making it possible for you to
transfer the units earned into a master's program later. Or, if you already
have a master's degree, completing a course through our Open Classes program
may be just want you need to add a key skill to your resume and prepare you
for career advancement.

 

Open Classes are electives offered in our school's Master of Library and
Information Science (MLIS) program
