Creative Making: The certificate offers the option for students to select one design or arts-oriented course in order to gain hands-on, practical experiences with new materials and technologies useful for arts and design programming with children or youth. Creative Making is an integrative approach to literacy and expression and is a major activity in library service to children and young adults, often expressed through arts and design in library programming, library maker spaces, and teen tech and media centers in public libraries.

Guidelines for “Creative Making” courses:
• Projects completed as part of a "creative making" course must be focused on either children and/or young adults.
• A project or product from a "creative making" course must be included in the final portfolio for graduation.
• Graduate-level Art or Design courses from outside the School of Information identified by the student must be approved by an academic advisor
