The Cornell University Library (CUL) is seeking talented minority high school students from Tompkins County to participate in its inaugural Library Junior Fellows Program. Six to eight students will be selected for the paid summer program, which runs from July 1st through Aug. 9th. Deadline for applications is May 10. Junior fellows are required to work 24 hours a week on specific projects and receive on-the-job training through workshops in information literacy, and technology and research skills. They can practice those new skills on their very own refurbished computer, given to them -- for keeps -- as part of their job. In addition Junior Library Fellows will receive career counseling. The library also provides a Cornell Dining Pass for the first week of employment and a TCAT Summer Fun bus pass. (April 26, 2002)
