Award
The Art Libraries Society of North America is now accepting applications
for its annual Internship Award. The ARLIS/NA Internship Program
provides financial support for students preparing for a career in art
librarianship or visual resource curatorship. This award will grant
$1,000.00 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 2003-2004 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 have 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.

scan/photocopy/fax of your most recent transcript issued by your
university, 3) an essay of 250 words or less addressing your

resources library, and 4) the names of two professional or scholastic
