year period of part-time study. Day, evening and block
release classes are available. Students normally attend
classes for two hours a week for each subject they enrol
for. Those enrolled for block release attend for blocks of
one, two or three days instead of on a weekly basis. On
average two additional hours of work per week are
required for assignments etc. There is no set number of
subjects to complete in any one year.
Students choose the number of subjects they wish to study.
Completion of twenty-three subjects (seventeen
compulsory and six electives), and the equivalent of 840
hours of paid approved work experience in a library
entitles the student to receive an Associate Diploma of
Social Science (Library and Information Studies).

admission as members of the Librarv Technicians' Section
of the Australian Library and Information Association.

specialist library subjects because work experience is an
integral part of the course. Applications may be made in
anticipation that library employment will be found and

employment.
