The United Nations Library in Vienna would like to invite students and recent graduates of Library and Information Science programs to submit an application through the UN Careers website (https://careers.un.org/lbw/Home.aspx).
The UNOV Library provides full library and information services to the staff of the United Nations units and Permanent Missions in Vienna. The collection focuses on issues related to drugs and crime, outer space affairs, as well as translation and interpretation. We also house an extensive collection of UN official documents and publications. More information is available at: http://www.unvienna.org/unov/library.html
Intern duties include assisting with reference and client services, collections maintenance, website maintenance, cataloguing and digitization projects. Interns are required to have an excellent command of written and spoken English. Working knowledge of other UN languages would be considered an asset. In addition, experience or course work related to reference, cataloguing and/or special libraries is desirable.
Please note that the United Nations does not remunerate interns in any way. Costs and arrangements for travel, accommodation and living expenses are the responsibility of the interns or their sponsoring institutions. The minimum duration of an internship is 2 months.
Interested candidates can find the internship opportunity posted on the UN Careers website at: https://careers.un.org/lbw/jobdetail.aspx?id=114211
The deadline for applying is May 1, 2019.
