LIBR 294 - Professional Experience: Internships
The SLIS internship course (LIBR 294) is a field–based, supervised, professional learning experience that take place in a library, an archival records repository, or another information organization. The internship course allows a student to obtain professional work experience while pursuing defined learning outcomes, testing theories and applying skills learned in other courses taken during the student's program.
Please begin by reading the LIBR 294. Professional Experience: Internships - Guidelines for important information and links to the required application and evaluation forms.
All SLIS internships follow the same guidelines and use the same forms, but for administrative and supervision purposes they are divided into sections for archival internships and sections for non–archival internships. Archival internships are those dealing with archival collections, special collections, records management, rare books, oral history, and the like. Non–archival internships include all other library/information agency environments, eg. public, academic, special and functions including cataloging, reference, collection development, children's services and the like. If you are not sure how to designate your internship opportunity, please contact one of the faculty listed below for assistance.
For questions about LIBR 294 in archival settings, contact Lori Lindberg.
For questions about LIBR 294 in non-archival settings, contact Dr. Bill Fisher.
