The Department of Information Studies operates a dynamic and progressive internship program. This program provides students with a wide range of opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills in a structured professional environment.
Students can choose from a diverse range of traditional and innovative internship sites.
These include public libraries, academic libraries, special collections, museum libraries, photo archives, film studios, corporations-anywhere that people use information for work, pleasure, entertainment or enlightenment. Internship sites participating in the program go through an application and evaluation process. Students have access to internship files on all approved sites and consult them when planning an internship. These files include brochures supplied by the individual sites and site reports made by previous interns. During the Spring Quarter the Department hosts an Internship Open House to bring together site supervisors and prospective interns.
