Science Librarian Paid Internship, O’Neill Library, Part time (10-15 hours/week)

This is a one semester (or summer), 10-15 hour per week, paid internship for a student currently enrolled in library school with a strong interest in pursuing librarianship in the sciences. The flexible schedule may include day/evening hours.

Responsibilities: The science librarian intern works with and will have direct contact with the subject specialists from the sciences where he/she will gain experience working with various science collections. The intern will also have an opportunity to work with the science bibliographers’ group on projects such as analysis of electronic journal usage data, weeding of print collections and identification of gaps in specific areas. In addition, the intern will have an opportunity to assist in the development of research guides and other instructional materials. The intern will also gain experience and knowledge of current reference services at the O’Neill Library by training at the reference desk and using electronic resources in a highly technical environment. Other project work will depend on interest and skill level.

Requirements: Enrollment in an ALA-accredited library and information science program of study and a letter from a faculty member at that institution recommending candidate for the internship. The intern must have completed at least one reference course and have an interest in exploring science librarianship. Ability to work effectively in a service-oriented environment and a familiarity with bibliographic databases, particularly in the sciences, experience with Excel and Access, are also desired.
