between 3000-4000 words.
*Preparing Graduate Students for Professional Roles*
This section will explore how internships, assistantships, practicums, and
field experiences can support the learning of graduate students in order to
help readers consider how these programs benefit graduate students and how
they might want to structure such learning experience in their
institutions. We hope to see explorations of skill-based training and
discussions of how to most effectively mentor graduate students through
hands-on work.
*Possible topics include but are not limited to:*
- The role of internships, field experiences, and practicums in LIS or
other forms of graduate education
- Developing professional workplace skills (e.g: “soft skills,” time
management, project management, workplace communication, reflective
practice, self-awareness)
- Preparing graduate students for the job search - job hunting, applying
for professional positions, resume development, interview preparation
*Logistics & Structures for Designing Graduate Student Work Experiences*
This section will look at how to administer these types of positions and
programs in order for readers to gain a bigger picture of what it takes to
oversee this work.

- Strategies for structuring learning experiences for students (either
programs or individualized experiences)
- Interviewing, selecting and/or hiring
- Developing a diverse and inclusive workforce and environment
- Onboarding and approaches to training

*Ethical Considerations*
This section will examine the complex ethical issues surrounding these
types of graduate experiences in order to help the reader consider how they
will address these questions in their work.
*Possible topics include but are not limited to:*
- Issues surrounding paid versus unpaid labor
- Ensuring students receive credit for their work (e.g. course credit,
acknowledgement)
- Issues related to balancing the organization’s needs and students’
learning and professional development needs

experiences in order to give both new and seasoned managers insight into
what these experiences will mean for them.
