> Subject: Graduate Assistantships Available at Central Washington University
>
> The James E. Brooks Library faculty announce a graduate assistantship
> program for individuals who already have an MLS, or equivalent, and who
> desire a second subject master degree. This unique two-year program
> allows an individual to study in any of eighteen graduate programs while
> gaining valuable professional experience in an academic library. Ideal
> for new or experienced tenure-seeking librarians, candidates must apply
> to the graduate school and be accepted into a program prior to being
> accepted as a paid library graduate assistant.
>
> The assistantship is really two programs; an opportunity to gain
> valuable professional experience under the tutelage of professional
> librarians while getting that second, often necessary, advanced degree
> required at many academic libraries. For experienced librarians this
> assistantship is also two programs; a chance to advance by studying for
> an advanced degree while renewing and recharging one's self during an
> extended leave of absence.
>
> Total benefits include a stipend of $7,120, plus paid tuition, medical
> insurance and health center fees equaling approximately $13,888 per
> academic year. Summer study and employment opportunities may also be
> available.
>
> Opportunities are available for candidates to gain professional
> experience in reference, instruction, library technology and systems,
> technical services, outreach, archives and record management, government
> publications, maps, assessment and research.
