PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The University of California, Santa Barbara invites candidates to apply
for its Library Fellowship Program to serve a two-year post-graduate
appointment in the university library. UCSB has a continuing commitment
to promote diversity and multicultural awareness in all areas of the
library. The Fellowship Program is designed to increase the diversity of
professional librarians and to encourage the involvement and participation
of underrepresented librarians in academic research libraries. The
program provides the recent graduate an opportunity to work in a
culturally diverse environment, to gain experience in at least two areas
or departments of the library, to learn about academic libraries, to
explore the latest developments in information technologies, and to
participate in a dynamic and challenging workplace.

librarians to apply for the program. Applicants must be recent graduates
