SPOTLIGHT ON: CIRLA Fellows Program
Georgetown University encourages MLS candidates to apply now for the Summer/Fall 2005 CIRLA Fellows Program. Designed to increase the diversity of the library profession and recruit the next generation of librarians, the program is funded by an IMLS grant to Georgetown. Fellows receive a wide range of benefits, including mentoring and placement in a one-year, paid, post-MLS professional position in a CIRLA library.
