The Libraries Internship/Residency Program
Sponsored by the Rutgers University Libraries and OverviewThe Libraries Internship/Residency program reflects the university's long standing commitment to equal opportunity and affirmative action, and its efforts to increase diversity in academic librarianship. The program is designed to provide one student in the Masters of Library and Information Science program at Rutgers with an intensive three-year exposure to the various aspects of professional work within an academic library such as reference, instruction and information services, collection development, access services, administration, digital library systems, preservation, and special collections. The internship rotation and residency may be tailored to reflect the successful candidate's personal interests and long-term career goals. The program is jointly administered by the Library and Information Science (LIS) Department of the Rutgers' School of Communication and Information and the Rutgers University Libraries.
Conditions and BenefitsAdmission to the program is competitive and requires a commitment of three years: two to complete the MLIS degree taking nine credits per semester and working twenty five hours per week in the Libraries (full-time during the summer), and upon graduation, one year in post-graduate residency. Annual compensation is $39,191 with a complete package of benefits, including medical coverage, tuition remission and one month vacation.
Applications are due by January 31, 2010. For consideration, candidates must send their resume and a letter of intent (maximum two pages). Concurrently, candidates must also submit an application to the Rutgers MLIS program and be admitted for September 2010.

The RUL/SCI Diversity Internship & Residency program has allowed me the freedom to pursue my own specific interests in academic arts librarianship, while simultaneously providing a balanced structure through which I have gained proficiency in nearly all areas of the field. This wide-ranging experience -- which was complemented by an incredibly supportive network of colleagues, managers, and mentors -- will be of great value in my future career.
