The University Libraries are proud to introduce our inaugural Internship Cohort. This spring we welcomed three students from the Information Science master's program.
"This year's cohort enabled us to flesh out a consistent learning experience and establish a pipeline to bring talented information science students into the academic library setting," says Elaine Lasda, Library Strategist. "This provides a win-win for the students, who obtain valuable hands-on experience, and the libraries who benefit from the fresh perspective of engaged and motivated learners who are eager to apply what they have studied in the classroom."

My undergraduate studies focused on computer science and engineering, and I'm currently in my last semester, specializing in the Information Management and Technology track. Following my undergrad studies, I worked as a SEO (search engine optimization) analyst for a couple of years and grew interested in modern information organization and user interactions with different forms of data in different information environments. Growing up I used to read a lot, and am still very passionate about books and literature.
