Friends -
Do you need help with a special library project? The answer may be a student from the University of Texas School of Information. There are two ways you can connect with library students: School of Information JobWeb <http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/jobweb/> * The JobWeb is a job and volunteer resource available to UT students, alumni and the public * You may post more than one volunteer job. Many CTLS libraries have participated. * This is less formal than the Capstone program below. * Check out similar volunteer jobs at http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/jobweb/Search.php * Positions may be posted at any time. Submit them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Question? Contact Ronald <http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/~rpollock/> D. Pollock, (512) 471-2623, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Capstone <http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/programs/capstone/institutions.php> Project * This is a larger project undertaken by students in their last semester of school. * You provide a semester-long educational work experience, paid or unpaid, 10-12 hours per week for 1-3 students. * Students select projects about 2 months before each semester starts so plan your postings accordingly. Submit your project at http://web.austin.utexas.edu/capstone/capstonedataentry.cfm * More info at http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/programs/capstone/institutions.php * Check out similar projects at http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/programs/capstone/pep_opportunities.php * Questions? Contact Carla Crider at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call (512) 471-5654 How to be successful * Be specific, especially with travel requirements. Library students come from all over central Texas so don't let geography get in the way. Some jobs may not require much travel to your library. * Call on Ron or Carla. They are eager to help you create your volunteer job or project idea. * Are there other organizations in your town that need the skills of a good information organizer? Pass this info to your newspapers, clubs, museums, educational institutions, etc. * Cost to post? Free! * And the #1 success tip from the folks at UT: Give your project a catchy name! Give me a call if you have any more questions.
