Digital Preservation Internship
The British Library

The British Library is pleased to offer its first internship in the area
of Digital Preservation.  The internship will take place for four months
between March and June 2009. Funding for the internship is provided by
the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR).

We are seeking to offer an internship to a graduate or equivalent, with
experience in Library Information or Computer Science.  The intern will
work specifically on the LIFE (Life Cycle Information for E-Literature)
project as part of the Digital Preservation Team within the Collection
Care Department. LIFE is a collaborative project between University
College London and the British Library.

The candidate will be selected on the basis of knowledge in relation to
the project, previous experience, interest in digital preservation,
communication skills, and understanding of library and archive
collections.  Successful candidates will need to give examples of how
they meet the essential criteria for the internship.

The internship will carry a taxable stipend of UKP1200 per month.
Travel to the British Library's Boston Spa site may be required, the
cost of which will be covered by the British Library.  The internship is
open to those who have a right to live and work in the UK.

The intern will be expected to use a project management framework and
monitor their progress against project plan.  The intern will need to
produce an interim report for CLIR, and a final report for CLIR and the
British Library. The intern will be supervised by the Digital
Preservation Manager throughout their internship and work will be
monitored on a regular basis.

Closing date for applications is Wednesday 25 February 2009 and
interviews will be held the week commencing Monday 2 March 2009.
