5. Smithsonian Internships –
Washington, D.C.
|
The Smithsonian Libraries has two internship opportunities
available for the spring semester. They are unpaid and may be
performed either part or full time.
Current Internship Opportunities:
Review of reference materials in
History and Culture branch libraries
This project is to assist reference librarians in the History and
Culture branches in reviewing their reference collections. The process
involves reviewing all library reference or ready-reference titles, with
the aim of withdrawing any titles that are either redundant, available
online for free or low cost, or under-used by museum staff. The intern
would complete the paperwork, pack the boxes, and arrange for shipment.
This topic may not often be discussed in library school. The intern
would discuss the process and rationale with reference librarians and
technicians and the criteria for weeding and learn how librarians make
decisions to weed and cultivate a paper and online collection in a
special library setting.
This internship would be either part or full time and located in
various branches, including the National Air and Space Museum and the
National Museum of American History. Desirable candidates will have an
understanding of the selection and de-accessioning process for reference
materials (collection development). Multiple interns may be chosen.
Application deadline is January 20, 2012.
Collections Care Internship at the Hirshhorn Museum Library
This internship is available either full time or part time to students
with a background in art history and foreign langauages
and a keen attention to detail. It entails searching databases for
specific titles in the HMSG collection and transferring items to off site storage if necessary. Application deadline
is January 20th, 2012.
