The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Diversity Initiatives have redesigned the Research Library Residency Programs Database. The database is a free, Web-based registry for descriptions of residency programs and internships in academic and research libraries and in library and information science educational programs. Anyone is welcome to search the database or submit listings.

ARL supports residency programs and their vital role in the recruitment and training of new professionals by collecting and providing access to information on a broad range of career opportunities for future and new professionals. ARL is particularly interested in attracting new and transitioning professionals to careers in research libraries.

The Research Library Residency Programs Database is located on the Web at http://residencies.arl.org/.
