All interns will comply with Northeastern COVID-19 guidelines and requirements.
Positions are not benefits-eligible.

  • Preparing and updating print and electronic research guides and other library publications
  • Supporting librarians in locating, retrieving, and photocopying material needed for teaching, and doing trial runs of legal research exercises
  • Assisting with collection maintenance tasks as needed
  • Cite-checking legal articles for an in house law school publication (training provided)
Applicants should be detail-oriented, well organized, able to work independently, and comfortable as part of a team. Strong communication skills and flexibility are essential.

The internship is to start as soon as possible with an end date six months after hiring. The start date can be flexible. No telephone inquiries, please.

Qualifications:
  • Current enrollment in an ALA-accredited graduate-level library program (including starting this Fall).
