Internships

While many part time positions in libraries enhance students’ educational and professional development, often they do not provide structured learning about libraries beyond the role. To enhance student learning, the Faculty of Information has partnered with University of Toronto Libraries (UTL) to oversee TALint: the Toronto Academic Libraries Internship.

“UTL and the TALint program will provide interns the opportunity to not only enhance the quality of their learning, but also strengthen the profession by creating future leaders who will meet the complexities inherent in the libraries, archives, and records management fields,” says Professor Wendy Duff.

TALint students work in a variety of UTL departments, such as the University Archives, Media Commons, Engineering Library, Outreach and Student Engagement, OISE, and more. Students are paid to work for 15 hours per week and can hold the position for up to 24 months.
