TO: School of Information Sciences University of Tennessee Knoxville The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Library is pleased to announce the inauguration of a new opportunity for early-career librarians to gain professional experience and mentoring through a new library residency program. The Illinois University Library Residency Program is offered to librarians within two years of receiving their degrees. We hope to help early career librarians embark on successful careers in academic and research libraries. Through the program, the residency librarian will gain in-depth work experience in academic librarianship, will be introduced to academic library administration, and will gain experience designing, conducting, and sharing the results of a research project. As part of a cohort of new professionals, the resident will benefit from mentoring and the opportunity to work closely with a group of individuals in the University Library. Individuals hoping to help the library advance and with the interest in developing themselves as a professional and scholar are encouraged to apply. During this inaugural year, we will be recruiting to fill a minimum of four, two-year positions. Full postings and application instructions will be posted to the Illinois University Library Residency Program webpage. For more information about the residency program, preliminary information on requirements and qualifications, and the full positions, please visit: http://www.library.illinois.edu/residency.<http://www.library.illinois.edu/residency> William H.
