McMaster University Library welcomes students from the Library Information Technician Diploma programs at Mohawk and other Ontario Colleges to apply for a field work placement. Our field work placements will match students with their areas of interest within academic libraries, with an emphasis on Access Services and Collections Maintenance.
The co-op placement will pair students with a mentor to learn about McMaster University and the many career paths within academic libraries. Information interviews with staff and tours of areas such as our Makerspace, Lyons New Media Centre (Virtual Reality and Podcasting Studios), Campus Accessible Tech Space, and Archives & Research Collections will be tailored to align with the career objectives of the student.
Placement opportunities are available in the September-December Fall academic term.
