[padg] Internship announcement - University of Virginia Library

[Holly Robertson <har8n@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The University of Virginia Library is pleased to offer an eight-week  
summer preservation internship to provide a graduate student with  
practical experience in the principles and techniques of preservation  
in an academic research library environment. This internship has been  
made possible by the generosity of Elizabeth D Moyer PhD, Stevens M  
Moyer and Michael C Powanda PhD.

The University of Virginia Library is proud of its dynamic and  
growing preservation program which was recently awarded a Save  
America's Treasure grant to conserve, digitize, and provide enhanced  
online access to the Barrow laminated Papers of John Randolph of  
Roanoke.  With several other grant proposals in the works and plans  
to build a conservation lab and moving image / audio preservation  
lab, we can offer an exciting summer practicum for a student in an  
eligible ALA-accredited master’s program in library and information  
studies  focusing on preservation administration or the conservation  
of library and archival materials.

For further details, eligibility requirements, and sample internship  
projects, please see the attached announcement.

The summer 2008 internship provides a $3,500 stipend and up to $500  
for related professional development during the internship terms  
(e.g., conference or workshop registration and related travel and  
accommodation expenses).

Students interested in the internship should submit (via email) a  
letter of application stating their areas of proficiency and  
interest, a resume, a list of completed classes (unofficial  
transcript), and contact information for three references to Holly  
Robertson, Head, Preservation Services (hollyr@xxxxxxxxxxxx) by  
February 29, 2008.
