Description:
Founded in 1983 as an independent, not-for-profit corporation, Minneapolis-based Public Radio International® has distinguished itself by producing, acquiring and distributing innovative content that enables U.S. audiences to "hear a different voice," bringing new insights and global perspectives to the public airwaves. Today we are a leading producer and marketer of public radio programs.
The Cataloging Assistant position offers an outstanding learning opportunity for a library school student interested in the changing landscape of digital libraries. This internship will provide hands-on experience within the Interactive/New Media department and specifically with our digital asset management system.
As the Cataloging Assistant, you will have the key role of cataloging segment-level program data and creating reports of content coverage as needed.
Specifics:
• Catalog subset of PRI shows (e.g. PRI’s The World, Studio 360, The Takeaway) at a segment level into our internal digital asset management system
• Assign subject headings
• Assist with documentation of cataloging processes as needed
Qualifications
We seek a student who is currently pursuing a graduate degree in Library and Information Science and available to work a minimum of ten hours a week (most work can be completed off site). While the internship is unpaid, we are open to offering academic credit. Qualified candidates must have excellent communications skills, both written and verbal; strong interpersonal skills; excellent attention to detail, and Microsoft Office (or equivalent) proficiency. An understanding of database concepts and the completion of at least one cataloging course preferred.
Come help us achieve our mission of helping people understand their place in our interdependent world.
