Can I do the required 120 hours of internship in my current, regular library job?
The point of the internship is to expose students to an aspect of librarianship to which they have not yet been exposed, and to give them an opportunity to meet a range of professionals in the field. Sometimes it is difficult for students who are full time employees to carve out the time to work in a different setting. In cases like those, we might work with the student and the library to offer the student a different type of work within the same organization. Alternately, students might be able to find weekend opportunities. However structured, the ideal internship introduces students to new workplaces, new ideas, and new responsibilities.
