This was directed toward those institutions posting internships, but it could be useful for students seeking such positions as well.
-CMUD

Jannette and Carrlee,

You may want to post your internships on InternActive.org - it's a new (free!) online tool we've been developing to facilitate communication between supervisors and (mostly) grad students who are looking for interns/internships.  It takes less than 5 minutes to post an internship (you don't have to sit and work up all that job description stuff before you post) and then interested students are able to collaborate with you to shape the internship so it meets their needs and yours at the same time. (Hopefully that's a way to compensate a little for a low/no stipend situation.)

We'll be sending out information in the next couple of weeks but the site is live online right now--posting your internships there now will guarantee that it will be seen by the students who login in mid-Feb when we announce it to the 185 museum studies/arts administration grad programs around the country.

Hope this helps,

Lydia

PS Send me any feedback ([log in to unmask]) - we're putting the finishing touches on the tool now and I'm anxious to make sure it works for everyone.  Thanks!
