Overview

The ARL Career Enhancement Program, funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and ARL member libraries, offers MLIS graduate students from underrepresented groups an opportunity to jump-start their careers in research libraries by providing a robust internship experience in an ARL member library.

This fellowship program reflects the commitment of ARL members to provide practical experience to MLIS graduate students from underrepresented groups and to create a diverse research library community that will better meet the challenges of changing demographics and the emphasis of global perspectives in higher education.
