Are you currently completing an internship or have any advice for those in one? March's e-Forum will focus on the sharing experiences and discussing "what makes a great internship." Topics will include: what are great questions to ask a supervisor, how to choose the right location, how this impacts your future career or how it helps with your current job, and so much more. We look forward to a stimulating, valuable conversation about internships and how they work for institutions, schools, and students.
What Is an e-Forum?
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums.
Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!
Who Should Attend
Anyone with an interest in the topic can benefit from this session and is welcome to participate.
