Every year, the Dalhousie Libraries hire student interns from the School of Information Management and NSCC to give them hands-on library experience. Intern training day gives these interns a chance to learn more about all aspects of the Dalhousie Libraries.
The students heard presentations from representatives of all five Dal libraries, the Archives and GIS centre, copyright, and Library IT services. The interns also participated in an activity called Inventory, which allowed them to figure out what style of person they are in a work setting: Driver, Amiable, Analytical or Expressive. The interns also learned about updating subject guides, navigating the library website, searching techniques, and RefWorks.
Watch for the interns this summer in a Dalhousie Library near you. They are ready and willing to help. Welcome library interns!
I recognize a few of those faces!
Best of luck to you all and enjoy your experience!
