collection.
Who May Apply

or having completed within the last 12 months, a graduate program in library

award.
Internship Description
Once an award recipient has
been selected, he or she will select an institution to act as host for the
internship. This institution must be approved by the ARLIS/NA Professional
Development Committee. ARLIS/NA is not responsible for matching candidates with
a host institution, but may assist in the process.
This Internship Award
will be granted for the 2001-2002 academic year. The intern will work on-site a
minimum of 10 hours per week to complete a total of at least 150
hours.
The intern, the internship supervisor, and the student's academic
advisor (if applicable) will complete evaluations of the internship
experience.
The ARLIS/NA Internship Award will provide a stipend up to
$1000.00 to the intern. Half of the award will be granted prior to the
internship, with the remainder granted upon completion of the internship and
receipt of a letter signed by the Internship supervisor and intern stating the
150 hours have been completed to the Chair of the Professional Development
Committee. The award recipient will also receive a one year membership in
