Real Learning Connections: Questioning the Learner in the LIS Internship
Bird, Nora J.; Crumpton, Michael A.
Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, v55 n2 p89-99 Spr 2014
The focus of literature on the role of internship has been on whether and how such activity benefits the student. A model is proposed that examines what happens for both the practitioner supervisor and the LIS educator during an internship experience. Is it possible that all participants learn from the experience and how can that learning be characterized? The results from a three year-long case study are shared.
