I am deeply honoured to extend a warm welcome to all of you to the Department of Knowledge Management (DKM) at Moshi Co-operative University (MoCU). The Department is under the Directorate of Library Services (DLS) and one of the two departments of the Directorate. DKM is currently running two programmes, the Diploma of Library and Information Science (DLIS) and the Certificate of Library and Information Science (CLIS). Plans are underway to introduce a Bachelor of Library and Information Science program in the department. The department has highly qualified academicians in various areas of Library and Information Science (LIS). The infrastructure available at MoCU offers a conducive environment for students to carry on their studies. The library services available offer a wide range of library and information science materials. Lecture and seminar rooms are conducive for students to comfortably learn. Moreover, ICT facilities are also available, and students can communicate and access various materials online.
