Diversity Programs

Information Specialist Internship Program

The Information Specialist Internship Program provides second and third-year undergraduates at the University of Wisconsin-Madison an experiential learning opportunity to obtain knowledge and hands-on experience in the field of information and library services. The internship program will provide participants with exposure to different work environments representative of the academic profession, and essential experiences in the following areas: collection management, information technology, public services, technical services, and special libraries.

Eligibility is limited to second-year and third-year undergraduates enrolled on the UW-Madison campus, at least half-time, during the academic year, regardless of race, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation.
