Art Libraries Society of North America
Internship Award

The Art Libraries Society of North America is now accepting applications for
its annual Internship Award. ARLIS/NA Internship Program will provide
financial support for students preparing for a career in art librarianship
or visual resource curatorship. This award will provide $1000.00 to support
a period of internship in an art library or visual resources collection.

Who May Apply

Students currently enrolled in, or having completed within the last 12
months,  a graduate program in library science, art history, studio art or
museum studies may apply for the award.

Internship Description

Once an award recipient has been selected, he or she will select an
institution to act as host for the internship. This institution must be
approved by the ARLIS/NA Professional Development Committee. ARLIS/NA is not
responsible for matching candidates with a host institution, but may assist
in the process.

This Internship Award will be granted for the 2001-2002 academic year. The
intern will work on-site a minimum of 10 hours per week to complete a total
of at least 150 hours.

The intern, the internship supervisor, and the student's academic advisor
(if applicable) will complete evaluations of the internship experience.

 The ARLIS/NA Internship Award will provide a stipend up to $1000.00 to the
intern. Half of the award will be granted prior to the internship, with the
remainder granted upon completion of the internship and receipt of a letter
signed by the Internship supervisor and intern stating the 150 hours has
been completed to the Chair of the Professional Development Committee.  The
award recipient will also receive a one year membership in ARLIS/NA at the
student level.

How to Apply

To apply for the award, please submit: 1) a resume, 2) a current transcript
[does not have to be official], 3) an essay of 250 words or less addressing
your professional goals, expectations of the internship experience, and any
skills or experience you have that might benefit an art or visual resources
