Spring 2022 Remote Library Cataloguing Internship at the International Center for Multigenerational Legacies of Trauma (ICMGLT)
The internship will focus on cataloguing the ICMGLT’s unique library of electronic resources, according to the cataloging guide created by previous interns. This will involve applying tags in a WordPress environment, facilitating conversations around subject headings, and making methodological decisions. This is an exciting opportunity for self-motivated graduate students who are interested in cataloguing, metadata, or overall organization of information. There is room for creativity in this internship, as well as the freedom to explore additional interests such as web development and outreach/communications.
This internship can be completed remotely, and hours are flexible. The successful applicant will receive a stipend of $300 per semester and can complete this internship for practicum/field experience/internship credit. The internship will begin in the Spring 2022 semester and may be renewable for future semesters. The number of hours expected to be completed over the semester can be determined based on the requirements at the intern’s graduate school.
