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.
