Building a Federal Library Internship Program in Your Agency

Tuesday, November 4, 2014

9:00am - 12:00pm

 

          Establishing a practical work experience for federal library interns benefits both the agency and students looking for practical work experience.  While developing a federal intern program can be challenging, there are options and examples available from a variety of federal agencies.  With a combination of an understanding of what rules and regulations you need to follow and new program ideas and approaches, your library can create and benefit from rewarding professional development opportunities for future librarians.

Topics:

          Legal Aspects of an Intern Program

          Tricks and Tips on Running an Intern Program

          Volunteer Work Experience Programs for Individuals with Disabilities

          Virtual Interns

 

         Join your colleagues for a morning discussion of the basic regulations, best practices from current intern programs, and innovation in designing a program that will work best with your organization.
