needed; to effectively locate and organize information while considering
the myriad of information sources and formats available; to logically

objective truth and personal meaning; to synthesize and use information
to communicate conclusions persuasively; and to apply these skills
ethically and legally throughout life, with a sense of social
responsibility. Qualifications: Interns must be currently enrolled in a
graduate level Library and Information Science or School Media program.

as our Program’s needs. Have the opportunity to observe seasoned
instruction librarians, and receive substantive feedback on content and
delivery of instruction, work collaboratively with faculty on lesson
plans, depending on experience, career interests, and need. The Intern
