Internship Opportunity

It's been just over a year since I began working for Professor Joyce Osland in SJSU's College of Business. During this span of time, I've had numerous opportunities to meet many new contacts and gain plenty of experience conducting research. Professor Osland opened up another door of opportunity for me when she mentioned that she'd like to connect me with Diana Wu, the liaison librarian at the MLK Library for the College of Business.

As an MLIS candidate in SJSU's online program, I was excited at the prospect of gaining hands-on experience with an academic librarian at the MLK Library since it would allow me to gain experience in a unique, joint academic/public library. Diana and I got in touch, and discussed the possibility of her taking me under her wing as an intern at the MLK Library this fall. After discussing some of my future career goals as an academic librarian, Diana agreed to serve as my supervisor for an internship this fall. I am delighted that I will be working with Diana, as she is pleasant to be around and can offer me the invaluable experience of catching a glimpse into the daily life of an academic librarian during this time period of evolving librarianship.
