Louisville Public Library <br />Volunteers Policy <br />Recruitment and Supervision of Student Interns <br />Student interns may be sought by the Adult, Teen, Children's, and Technical Services <br />supervisors through educational contacts in area schools and colleges. A job description will be <br />tailored for each school program that may offer student interns. The job description must stress <br />the value of the project for both student and Library. A representative of the school or college <br />will usually be involved in developing the job description and outline of the project. <br />The professional staff member who shapes an individual project will be responsible for the <br />training and supervision of the student intern. Interns can be very valuable to the Library, but <br />the Library must also offer a genuine educational opportunity. Because much staff time will be <br />required, each project must be carefully planned and approved by the Library Director before <br />the intern is accepted. Participation in student internship programs shall be considered a <br />privilege which may be revoked at any time by the Louisville Public Library or the student <br />intern. All schedules will be worked out between the student intern and the supervising <br />librarian and should not conflict with school schedules. <br />A method and schedule for evaluation will be agreed upon between the supervising librarian <br />and the school or college representative before the student intern is accepted. The supervising <br />librarian will follow this schedule and report student progress to the representative. <br />Volunteers Policy Page 3 of 3 <br />
