Career Enhancement Program Call for Applications
Deadline October 12, 2012
Washington, DC— The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) is now accepting applications for the ARL Career Enhancement Program. Masters of library and information science (MLIS) students from racial and ethnic minority groups, who have successfully completed a minimum of 12 credits hours (or will complete 12 hours by the scheduled internship) from an ALA accredited MLIS program, are encouraged to apply for this enriching program experience.
The ARL Career Enhancement Program has three main components:
A 6-to-12-Week Internship Experience
Each Fellow will have a unique opportunity to work in an ARL member research library to gain both educational and professional experience while enrolled in an MLIS program. Fellows will be assembled in groups of two or three to create a fellowship cohort at each host institution.
Leadership Development
The Fellows will participate in the ARL Leadership Symposium held in January during the ALA Midwinter Meeting. During the Symposium, the Fellows will have an opportunity to explore macro-level issues facing research libraries and discuss appropriate strategies for securing a professional position in research libraries upon graduation. The Fellows will have an opportunity to connect with other ARL fellows, library leaders, and other MLIS students who attend the annual event.
Career Placement
ARL staff will work with each Fellow to network and connect with member libraries to assist with networking during the job search process.
The ARL Career Enhancement Program provides each fellowship participant with a rewarding compensation package with a potential value in excess of $10,000 per person.
Eligible applicants for the Fellowship must:
* Be accepted into an ALA-accredited library/information school program
* Be a member of a racial/ethnic minority group as described by the US Census Bureau
* Complete a minimum of 12 graduate-level credits in library and information science prior to beginning the internship
Selection and Institutional Match
The ARL Career Enhancement Program has a unique process for selecting and matching fellows. Each host institution designates a staff member to serve on the Coordinating Committee. The committee will evaluate the entire applicant pool, select participants, and then enter into dialogue about the institution that is best positioned to create a rewarding internship experience. The assignments will be based on the Fellows’ skills, knowledge and expectations for the experience.
The CEP host institutions are:
University of Arizona
University of California, San Diego
Columbia University
University of Kentucky
University of Michigan
National Library of Medicine
North Carolina State University
University of Washington (not participating in the Program in 2013)
Applications
Applications are being accepted until October 12, 2012, and should be submitted online. Information about the program, the application process, timelines, and host institutions can be found at http://www.arl.org/diversity/cep/index.shtml<http://e2.ma/click/p20id/pydqgn/lr5nab>.
