What are the steps for doing an internship?
Note that the steps listed below are not linear steps, but are general guidelines. Additionally, I will not approve an internship in which you have not yet completd the coursework (for example, no cataloging internships without 401/501 at the very least) or do offer a well-written one-page work plan. Reference desk duties do not comprise an intership. Work plan must have deliverables, calendar of hours, milestones, clear description of tasks and experience to be gained, relationship with courses completed, and site information. Here is an example of an internship proposal by Bill Hornbacker Step 1: Complete the coursework in the area in which you want to gain practical experience. Step 2: Identify an internship opportunity. Step 3: Write the plan with your site supervisor. Step 4: Submit to advisor for approval.
