Hi All, this position is with me, and I'd like to let everyone know that it is open and we're accepting applications, but the scope has been changed since the fall when we originally posted - only the person who can update the listing for me has been out. With that in mind, please take a look at the following, which is the current description, and please do apply!
Title: Information Management Internship
Description: This project will engage our Humanitarian Partnerships program. The information management intern will work closely with the WWF librarian and program staff to develop a taxonomy for cataloging the program's
collections. The intern will conduct a needs analysis and an
iterative development cycle, ensuring the organizational system reflects the
needs and the work processes of the program. Time permitting, the intern will also assist program staff with initial
population of the database.

Hi iSchoolers!
Was trawling the web for lib jobs and internships and came across this
opportunity, thought some folks might be interested! (I'm not
affiliated with this in anyway, just saw it and thought it would be
good to post).
