Note: The following information pertains to academic courses offered by the Library Department.  If you are looking for the library catalog, research databases, or information about library services, see the Library web site located under student services.

The CRC Library courses are designed to equip students with vital research skills, enabling their success in college classes and on the job. The student will gain "research survival skills" to cope with the information rich environment in which we live and work.

Students interested in a career as a librarian will need to earn a bachelor's degree and a graduate library degree. Students interested in becoming a school (K-12) librarian can obtain a library credential through CSUS once they have completed their bachelor's degree and basic credential program. Paraprofessional library careers are available by completing a Library Technology program at a community college.
