The Newberry Library offers internships in most of its departments. Newberry interns benefit professionally and intellectually from challenging work assignments as well as participation in the Library\u2019s lively community of scholars. Interns are supervised individually by Newberry staff members, who serve as mentors and insure that the internship has a robust educational component. In addition to their individual assignments, interns learn about other dimensions of the Library through group presentations, tours, and events such as the weekly colloquium. (At the colloquium, the Newberry community gathers to hear an informal talk, usually focused on the collections or a current research project within the Library, followed by discussion and accompanied by refreshments.) <\/p>\n
Although these opportunities are unpaid, many previous interns have earned academic credit for their Newberry experience. Undergraduates and graduate students in the humanities, social sciences, library and information science, performing arts, journalism, communications, marketing, graphic design, and museum studies, as well as postgraduates with backgrounds in these fields, may apply for available internships. Please refer to the individual internship descriptions on our website for the specific qualifications for each position:<\/p>\n
