UF Libraries Graduate Student Internship Program Designed to complement graduate students’ academic careers for multiple job outcomes, including positions in libraries.

UF Libraries Graduate Student Internship Program Benefits Graduate students: career skills, increased opportunities, work experience, living wage ($15/hour), and professional development Libraries: new partnerships with academic units, worthwhile projects and the potential for transformative collaboration, opportunity for recruiting diverse experts into libraries, programmatic approach to internships to ensure equity  Librarians: professional experience, accomplishments, and/or scholarship Teaching faculty and departments: opportunities to grow and connect constellations of communities of practice focused on graduate education

UF Libraries Graduate Student Internship Program Outcomes: The Program fills the conjoining voids in libraries for expertise and in graduate education for paid professional internships. It transforms the library into a career laboratory and professional learning space, and maximizes benefits for graduate students, libraries, and teaching department collaborators.

UF Libraries Graduate Student Internship Program Outcomes: Based on the resounding success of the change implemented with the Graduate Internship Program, its committee has been charged to serve as the guiding coalition to create a new undergraduate diversity fellowship program to expose students from underrepresented groups to career opportunities in academic libraries - with the goal of contributing to the diversity of the field. http://cms.uflib.ufl.edu/news/index.aspx LACC hosts ARL Fellowship for Digital and Inclusive Excellence Recipient The Latin American and Caribbean (LACC) is hosting Katiana Bague, recipient of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Fellowship for Digital and Inclusive Excellence, during the 2017-2018 academic year. The objective of this initiative is to expose undergraduate students from underrepresented communities to the field of librarianship and digital scholarship in order to promote diversification in the library science profession.  Bagué is a fourth-year art history student at the University of Florida in Gainesville. While she specialized in Latin American art, she worked at LACC supporting public services, curating book exhibits, processing colonial Latin American manuscripts and researching Latin American books and material culture. Under the supervision of Margarita Vargas-Betancourt, Ph.D., UF Latin American and Caribbean Special Collections Librarian, and Hélène Huet, Ph.D., UF European Studies Librarian, Katiana will use art history knowledge to challenge underrepresentation in the library science profession.   For more information on the program, visit the ARL website.
