The intern must be able to work at our site in Bellville, Ohio, but with Covid in mind, much of the work can be done in a private office in the library. There is a small possibility that some work can be done remotely. The hours per week are flexible and the internship begins in January and ends no later than April 30. OGS received a $2,100 grant for this internship. The entity that funds this opportunity perceived it as an undergraduate opportunity, but due to OGS’s purpose we are allowed to offer it to current graduate library and archivist students. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>POSITION: Genealogy Library Intern<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>REPORTS TO: Library Collections Manager<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>QUALIFICATIONS: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Current college student with any focus of study, but students with an interest in libraries, archives, genealogy, and/or history are preferred<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Must be able to follow instructions, perform tasks accurately, and work independently<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Scan selected items from our collection as directed for use on our website<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Edit scans using Adobe Acrobat (cropping, applying optical character recognition, and optimizing)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Process archival material for preservation (unfolding, removing staples, organizing into folders, etc.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Prepare library materials to be added to the main collection shelves<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>OPTIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Assess resources and create short descriptions as cover sheets for digital objects<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Assess manuscript material and create finding aids<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Move and shift library books and archived materials<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Staff library desk and assist patrons with online and physical collections<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>SKILLS ACQUIRED:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Scanning and editing digital objects<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Handling primary documents and archival resources<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Organizing and preserving archival objects<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Experiencing library collection workflows<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>COMPENSATION:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Pay is $14.00 per hour and work must be within library hours, Monday – Saturday, 9:00am – 5:00pm.
