Information Services Internships

Students who select an Information Services internship will attend scheduled library classes, meet with information services librarians, attend Information Services meetings, and receive in-depth orientations to the key service points in the Library. Students will select an area of focus within Information Services to complete their internship project. Focus areas include reference, instruction, and searching. Applicants must be enrolled in a library and/or information science degree program from an ALA-accredited university to be eligible for this internship.
