GRADUATE ASSISTANTSHEPS.Central Washington University’s James E. Brooks Library faculty announce a graduate assistantship program for individuals who already have an MLS or equivalent and who desire a second subject master’s degree. This unique two-year program allows an individual to study in any of 18 graduate programs while gaining valuable professional experience in an academic library. Ideal for new or experienced tenure-seeking librarians, candidates must apply to the graduate school and be accepted into a program prior to being accepted as a paid library graduate assistant. The assistantship is really two programs: an opportunity to gain valuable professional experience under the tutelage of professional librarians while getting that second, often necessary, degree required at many academic libraries. For experienced librarians this assistantship is also two programs: a chance to advance by studying for an advanced degree while renewing and recharging one’s self during an extended leave of absence. Total benefits include a stipend of $7,120, plus paid tuition, medical insurance, and health center fees equaling approximately $13,400 per academic year. Summer study and employment opportunities may also be available. Opportunities are available for candidates to gain professional experience in reference, instruction, library systems, technical services, outreach, archives and record management, assessment, and research.
