There are a variety of different options for GSLIS students preparing for life after (and during) GSLIS. To begin with, Simmons GSLIS students have many pre-professional jobs from which to choose. Most of these jobs are geared towards students with little or no library experience and allow students to experience different jobs in different libraries throughout their Simmons career. Simmons students are highly encouraged to take advantage of such opportunities to gain hands-on experience.
For students who would like to gain a different kind of experience, there are internships, fellowships, and residencies available at external sites to current and graduating students. (These positions do not normally include academic credit.) Our Other Sources of Aid page includes both links to specific institutions (e.g., the Library of Congress) as well as links to pages that compile listings of grants, fellowships and internships from various sources.
We've also included pages on our Mentoring program, and information from the most recent Salary Survey.
And don't forget to keep an eye on the Announcements section for the latest announcements relevant to your job search.
If you have any suggestions, or questions about the content on the site, please contact the GSLIS Webmaster.
