Bachelor of Information Studies

Librarianship at CSU’s School of Information Studies has been the cornerstone of our success. The Librarianship specialisation gives students the opportunity to choose from a large number of elective subjects that cater to students who want to work specifically in libraries, in areas such as reference services, library management, information access, and information delivery. The specialisation benefits from the academic staff whose teaching is informed by extensive experience in libraries. For specific subject listings, please view the course structure.
