Intern, Library Science, Boston Islamic Seminary, Boston, MA
Posted May 18, 2018
The Boston Islamic Seminary is seeking an intern with expertise in the Library sciences to catalog books received as donations to start the Seminary library. The donated books include volumes in both English and Arabic, so our cataloging system will need to account for that, although community volunteers can be available to help reading, translating and entering data for the Arabic-language books. We are hoping to develop a system that will serve us from our current startup phase and well into the future as we acquire additional texts and build our library.
The Boston Islamic Seminary is a planned graduate-level seminary that will train Imams, Chaplains and scholars to serve Muslim communities throughout the United States. Based on Boston, MA, the Seminary currently runs a Continuing Education program, and plans to launch a degree-granting academic programming in 2019.
The intern will work part-time during the summer and will receive a stipend for the work.
