Emory Libraries is now accepting applications for three distinct summer internships within its Access and Resources Services Division for Summer 2024. The Internships are open to current and recent graduates of ALA-accredited Library and Information Science degree programs, pre-program and current graduate conservation degree programs, and graduate students with an interest in librarianship. These internships are designed to give hands-on experience in an academic library setting.
· Resource Description (Cataloging)
· Access Services (Textbook Reserve Collection)
The Access and Resource Services Division is responsible for the acquisition, description, circulation, delivery, preservation, and digitization of library resources in all formats. The ten-week paid summer internships are for individuals from underrepresented communities with demonstrated interest in librarianship, resource sharing, course reserves, cataloging, and conservation. Interns will have the opportunity to engage in professional-level projects with independence and creativity, learn from experienced professionals, network with local librarians and conservators, as well as build community with members of the intern cohort.
Please visit the Emory Libraries Summer Internship Program Guide to learn more about these amazing opportunities! Applications due Friday, March 8, 2024.
