[DCRM-L] Graduate student summer internship

[Sarah Fisher]

Hello,

The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University has 
four internships available for the summer of 2008, and is looking to 
host one intern in each of the following four areas:

-Archival and manuscript processing
-Digital library and metadata development
-Preservation
-Rare book cataloging and acquisitions

Interns will work closely with staff in each of these areas and will 
be integrated into the broader operations of the library through 
tours, meetings with staff in Beinecke Library and the Yale 
University Library, and participation in special projects as 
available and necessary.  Applicants must meet the eligibility 
requirements which include:

-Applicants must be current graduate students in good standing in a 
library science, information studies, preservation, archives or related program
-Applicants must have completed at least three courses prior to the 
start of their internship
-Applicants must commit to ten consecutive weeks of employment 
between June 1st and August 31st, 2008
-At the end of the internship, interns will be required to submit a 
final report describing their experiences or participate in an exit interview
-Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S.
-Successful applicants will need to pass a security background check

Interns will receive a stipend of $7,500 to be used for housing, 
travel and other expenses. The stipend will be divided into three 
payments: one upon starting, the second halfway through and the third 
upon completion of the internship.

The library strongly encourages applicants from underrepresented 
groups to apply.
