Degrc Course la Librarianship- Oct. 1973

The University invites applications for admission to the full-
time three-year degree course in Librarianship at the Mona Camp-
us. The course will cover work in Librarianship to the level of the
A.L.A. in Great Britain, as well as work in non-Library subjects, as
part of the normal programme of the Faculty of Arts and General
Studies.
Candidates for admission must satisfy the normal University
Matriculation Requirements, that is, they must satisfy the 'A' level
requirements or possess qualifications accepted as equivalent to
these as outlined in the University's regulations. For this purpose
applicants may have their qualifications assessed by the Matricula-
tion Board of the University. Preference will normally be given to
those candidates who have had practical experience of work in
libraries.
Full details of the courses offered are given in a prospectus avail-
able from the Department of Library Studies (P.O. Box 181, Mona,
Kingston 7).
As the number of places in the course is limited, all persons
interested in admission should apply. However, if they have al-
ready applied for admission this year, they should indicate this.
