Internship at Catalyst, Inc.
Catalyst is seeking an MLIS student for an unpaid internship (plus transportation and lunch reimbursement) in its Information Center (IC). The IC librarians respond daily to the requests of Catalyst members, academic and nonprofit organizations, professional associations, researchers, writers, and the media.
Because the IC provides such a variety of services to its users, interns will have the opportunity to work on various aspects of librarianship, including the following:
- Projects regarding gender diversity in business
- Cataloging articles and reports using modified MARC formatting for the IC catalog
- Developing new/updating existing Quick Takes, a series of statistics-based overviews of topics such as women in the labor force, women of color, work/life balance, working mothers, women in Canada, etc. (To view the Quick Takes: click here)
- Assisting the librarians to answer reference questions as needed
The length of the internship and weekly work schedule are flexible, and interns may work from home for certain tasks of the internship. Interns are required to have a basic understanding of library functions and have taken at least one class in cataloging and reference. Interns must be motivated, possess initiative, be technologically savvy, and be able to work independently. Though welcome, previous library work experience is not required and on-the-job training will be provided as part of the internship.
If you are interested, please send a resume and cover letter to Cheryl Yanek, Associate Librarian at the
