      History

      The Library Technician program opened September 1971 under the direction of Mrs. S. Subbarao with a class of 25 students on the Cromdale Campus. Marilyn Neuman (program head), Linton Delainey, and Leslie Aitken were the instructors starting in the 1972-1973 school year. Staff continued to change until Ann Curry arrived in 1975-1976 to take the position of Section Head. When she left in 1981-1982, Tony Fell, cataloguing instructor, became head of the program. In 1986, the Library Technician program became part of the Business Division and moved to the Seventh Street Plaza Campus. In the 1989-1990 school year, the program became the Library and Information Management program, and moved to City Centre Campus in 1993.

      As computers became more prevalent in libraries, a major reorganization of the program occurred in 1997-1998, with a name change to Information Management and Library Technology in 1998-1999. Tony Fell became the curriculum coordinator with Alan Wesley as program chair. A further name change occurred in 2011-2012 to Library and Information Technology.
