LIBR 294 - Professional Experience: Internships
SLIS internships are field-based, supervised, professional learning experiences that take place in a library, an archival records repository, or another information organization. An internship allows a student to obtain professional work experience while pursuing defined learning outcomes, testing theories and applying skills learned in 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 purposes they are divided into sections for archival internships and sections for non-archival internships.
For questions about LIBR 294 in archival settings, contact Lori Lindberg.
For questions about LIBR 294 in non-archival settings, contact Dr. Bill Fisher.
To search for Internship opportunities in both archival and non-archival settings, see: LIBR 294 Internship Sites.
Do you have an opportunity for a SLIS student in your library or archive? Do you have updated information or changes for your current internship site listing?
Before proposing a new internship site, please read the LIBR 294. Professional Experience: Internships - Guidelines and make sure the internship site and the site supervisor is aware of and will comply with the requirements for a LIBR 294 credit internship. Once you are ready to propose a new site, or to update information on a current site, please submit the information through the SLIS Internship Sites — Institution Login page. If you are new to the internship database, please click on the Register an Institution link to set up an account for your institution. If you would like to propose a K-12 school library for a Teacher Librarianship field experience site, contact Dr. Dan Fuller directly.
