The online Library Research Skills Tutorial is a self-enroll course that provides students with an introduction to the college library’s services and basic research strategies. These strategies include searching the Academic Search Complete Database, locating materials in GLOCAT (the library’s catalog), requesting materials via IDS, and citing sources. This tutorial is designed to supplement the WRTG 105 library instruction program, but will benefit any student who needs to brush up on the library tools available to them.

Research Instruction 

The research instruction internships are aimed at students considering going into the career of librarianship. They are an opportunity to learn the culture, general skills, and realities of the profession. Interns complete a course that is a mixture of theory (readings from scholarly articles, professional literature) about library work, and practice (putting those theories to work by using actual library software and doing real-world projects that impact the library and other students.) There are typically two slots open per semester, and interested students can apply using the university's Handshake system. 

Editing Internship

This position serves as primary editorial contact for one manuscript to be published with Milne Library. In conjunction with Milne Library’s Digital Publishing Services Manager, the student editor will prepare an overview of the manuscript and suggested developmental edits, and work with the author to make suggested changes within a specified timeframe. The editor will also serve as copy editor of the manuscript, applying style conventions and editing for grammar, punctuation, and general clarity to prepare the manuscript for publication. Inquire with Allison Brown for availability at browna@geneseo.edu.

Content Developer Internship
**Dependent on publication schedule & faculty author interest** 
This position works collaboratively with faculty authors of open textbooks to create complimentary interactive content or ancillary resources to accompany an already published or in progress Milne Open Textbook.
