Type of Position: Internship

Position Title: Arts Education Library Internship at Lincoln Center Institute 2011

Salary: unpaid

Qualifications/Description:

Interns will gain hands-on experience in some of the following program areas: circulation and patron assistance; collection development; electronic library marketing; resource reviews; research and reporting related to new initiatives; bibliography; and web development. In addition to gaining a breadth of experience in several areas, each intern will be given the opportunity to manage an individual project, in collaboration with Resource Center staff. Interns will be mentored by a staff member, who will help each intern establish appropriate goals, supervise projects and progress, and provide any documentation required by the students’ universities. Interns will have opportunities to network with archivists and librarians and visit collections in the New York City area, to hear from administrative directors from across the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts organization, and network with interns working in other departments.

Lincoln Center Institute’s Resource Center has two incarnations: The Heckscher Foundation Resource Center at Lincoln Center, which houses a specialized collection of print and media—some 10,000 reference and circulating items; and LCI’s Electronic Library, which provides staff, teaching artists, educational partners, and online and in-person professional development workshop participants access to reference databases, e-books, online journals, digital articles, and specialized lists of Web links. Visit the Resource Center Blog at http://resourcecenterblog.wordpress.com/.

Lincoln Center Institute (LCI) works each year with nearly 100 local schools and with students, educators, arts administrators and organizations, and professional teaching colleges around the world, bringing the arts into the classroom as a springboard for inspiration and critical thinking across the curriculum. LCI’s approach, called Imaginative Learning, focuses on developing students’ cognitive skills through guided encounters with the visual and performing arts. During two weeks each summer, the Institute welcomes educators, administrators, and other visitors from across the country and around the world for intensive professional development courses. Learn more about LCI at www.lcinstitute.org.

The Arts Education Library Internship Program will take place over eight to ten weeks during the summer, from late May through the end of July, 2011, dependent on interns’ academic schedules and availability. Ideally, interns will participate full-time (35 hours per week). Some flexibility is possible, if arranged prior to the internship. However, full participation during the weeks of July 5th, July 11th, and July 18th is important for successful completion of projects.

This is an unpaid internship open to currently-enrolled students working toward a Masters degree in Library and Information Science, or Spring 2011 graduates. Enrolled applicants must receive academic credit for their work with us or arrange with their university for a letter of support for student participation in the internship.

Submission Address/Instructions:

Please submit four items (a cover letter, resume, two-page writing sample, and contact information for academic or employment references) to internships@lincolncenter.org. If you have questions about the internship, you may contact Linda Miles, lmiles@lincolncenter.org or (212) 875-5771.

Internship opportunity for Graduate Library Student

The Child and Family Center on the campus of The Rockefeller University provides care and early childhood development support for 120 children from 6 months to 5 years of age. The Center has a large collection of children’s books that is not inventoried and lacks an appropriate management system that will allow families to check out materials for use at home.

The Center would like to host a library school student for a semester long internship to address this need. Specifically the Center’s administration would like a library student to investigate and assess software applications, including web based systems, that would be efficient, effective, and inexpensive, and make a recommendation for one of them. Further, the Center would like the intern to establish a system for inventorying the books and creating the database with the recommended application. The goal is to have a functional, simple system for adding and removing books from the inventory, and for tracking books as they are borrowed and returned.

Interested students should submit a letter of introduction to:

Fall and Spring Books & Research Internship

2008-04-14T13:20:00.003-04:00

About Us:

Books & Research was incorporated in 1986 and is dedicated to providing library and book procurement services for the Federal Government and its agencies. Specializing in supplying military libraries, training facilities and universities, Books & Research supplies a wide range of services to an even wider range of customers. Books & Research has re-built US Navy libraries destroyed by hurricanes, helped the Department of Interior perform a retrospective conversion project, and does book procurement for National Defense Universities’ courses.

The Position:

Books & Research is looking for a recent graduate or a current graduate student in the technical library sciences field to help co-ordinate technical efforts for several library projects for the federal government. A solid understanding of current library technologies in cataloging, indexing, digitization, common library management systems (SIRSI-Dynix, etc) and library operations is required. Please note: this position will not be involved in operations, just the proposal and implementation of infrastructure projects and services.

This is the perfect opportunity for somebody in the Library Sciences field to see how a supplier functions from the inside out. Furthermore, you will get real-world experience working on high level projects. If you are enthusiastic, are interested in seeing how the corporate publishing and business world works (from a non-traditional corporation), how government bureaucracy can be overcome, and have a general sense of humor – this could be the stepping stone for you.

Compensation:

A stipend equal to the cost of the practicum course will be offered -- $2550/semester
