Thanks to All!

We’d like to thank everyone who applied for our Spring 2022 Metadata Internship. We’re reviewing and interviewing now since y’all were so timely about getting your applications in and hope to make an announcement and introduce our intern in early December.

We will be looking for Fellows for next summer, so keep an eye open for that announcement coming in the new year.

Deadline Approaching!

If you’re a LIS student and you want to be considered for our spring 2022 internship, the deadline is fast approaching: November 30!

The Medical Heritage Library is looking for a Metadata Intern to work with the Content and Metadata Working Group.  The internship will provide hands-on experience with current metadata schemas, editing metadata on digital objects, and identifying objects for bulk metadata updates.  In addition, the intern will have an opportunity to identify content based on available metadata and generate a list of possible items that could become collections. 

We are looking for interns interested in learning about the use of metadata in digital collections.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE:

This is an unpaid, virtual internship for a student in a graduate library and information science program with a strong interest in metadata and digital collections.  An interest in the history of medicine and public health would also be good but not required.   Experience with metadata schemas and knowledge of content management systems would be helpful.

UNPAID INTERNSHIP:
