Greetings and best wishes for the new year to all of you!
The Atlanta College of Art received a hefty bequest from a former Dean, the
income for which I propose using for an internship for an MLIS student
interested in art librarianship. Before I can set this up, however, I would
appreciate any feedback you can provide on internships your institution
offers or that you've participated in. For example,
* how long is the internship for? Weeks? Months? What time of the
year? Summer? Any time?
* what kind of projects to you set up for the intern? Do you have one
project that is worked on continuously over several internships?
* do you pay the intern? If so, how much? Do you supply room, room
and board or nothing?
* what kind of supervision do you provide?
* do you require the intern to make a proposal about the kind of work
s/he is interested in doing?
* what is your application process? Do you have an application form
you'd be willing to share with me? Do you take applications only from a
particular region or area? Do you attach your internship to a specific
library school? Do you allow repeats (i.e., the same person twice)?
* how do you decide which applicant to select? What are your
criteria? Who is on your selection team?
* any other words of wisdom you can pass along?
Please reply offlist so we don't clog up the listserv with responses. I of
course will be happy to share the results with anyone who asks.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Moira
