MLIS Co-op

The benefits of co-op for students and employers
The MLIS Co-op program, begun in 1979, formally integrates a student's academic study with paid work experience. Students are exposed to the professional environment, and have the opportunity to use and develop newly acquired skills, and gain practical experience which will contribute to their training as professionals.Employers gain enthusiastic, adaptable, temporary employees with up-to-date skills on a “just-in-time” basis.
