<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#1F497D">Hi, Chris:<br>
The UW libraries play a valuable role in offering opportunities for i-School students to develop<br>
the kinds of instructional, assessment, and reference skills included in Hawaii’s internship program. We’ve hired
<br>
a number of great tenure-track and adjunct librarians who held grad asst. positions at UW libraries.<br>
Here at TCC, we’ve intentionally used grad students in our College Archive – partly because our archivist is PT and<br>
we’re still in start-up mode; we employed a history PhD student to design an<br>
oral history program, and have used several MLIS students to work on specific archive projects (sometimes as a formal<br>
internship, sometimes as a volunteer). Though we did not set out to hire grad students, we’ve employed one MLIS<br>
student as a library reference specialist (see attached job posting) while another of our ref specialists will head off<br>
to the i-School this fall, while retaining his position. The PT ref specialist position, while paraprofessional, provides great<br>
work experience.<br>
It seems that internships are best-suited for specific projects with fairly short timelines for completion – that works
<br>
for the Archive, not so much the Library… library projects typically need to be institutionalized at some point and FT faculty<br>
librarians are in the best position to do that. That’s our experience, at least. In WA, it is likely that faculty unions would
<br>
push back if interns were used to do work typically performed by faculty (e.g. reference, instruction).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning, everyone. Please throw the new fella a bone and share with me your experiences soliciting and then using graduate students as either interns or full-blown assistants in your respective libraries. This is a model we used
to some effect in my previous job:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m curious about if or how Washington rolls on this, of course.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks very much for your consideration –<o:p></o:p></p>
