The Library and Information program at Nanjing Agricultural University is an academic and professional discipline that prepares students to manage, organize, preserve and facilitate access to library and information resources in a variety of settings. It combines foundational knowledge in information organization, classification and retrieval with practical skills in cataloguing, digital libraries, database management, reference services, information literacy education and archival practices. The curriculum emphasizes both traditional librarianship and modern information technologies, including digital resource management, metadata standards, information systems, and user services, enabling students to meet the needs of diverse user communities in an increasingly digital environment. Graduates are equipped for careers in libraries (public, academic and special libraries), information centers, archives, digital resource management, knowledge services, and research support roles, as well as opportunities in information consulting, content curation and educational outreach. By blending theoretical understanding with hands-on experience, the program trains professionals who can organize and deliver reliable information, support learning and research, and manage information resources effectively in the information age.
