Student Resources
Internships
Students in the School of Information will have a number of opportunities to pursue internships to get hands on experience with professionals in the field of study they choose to pursue. See below for more information.
Graduates of the ±«Óãtv School of Information (±«Óãtv SI) will begin their professional careers in many different types of libraries and information agencies. The diversity of their appointments cannot be addressed individually in the SI curriculum, which stresses a broad and integrated approach to preparation for professional employment and leadership in a variety of libraries and information agencies. Fieldwork provides students an opportunity to pursue an interest in a specific type of library or information center within the provisions of the curriculum. Students learn how the education provided within the theoretical framework of graduate study can be applied to specific situations such as special, academic, or public libraries as well as information agencies or information centers within large organizations.
Our fieldwork is in line with the Association for Library and Information Science Education’s (ALISE) Guidelines for Practices and Principles in the Design, Operation and Evaluation of Student Field Experiences. Supervised fieldwork opportunities approved for the library and information science program must primarily have an educational focus that distinguishes them from routine employment.
