Abstract

abstract:In spring 2020, the California State University System and its 23 campuses became the first in the United States to commit to a year of remote instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote instruction separated the system’s librarians from their users, whose needs were especially great within the system’s ethnically, economically, and academically diverse student body. At California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI), public health guidelines and closures prevented many students from fulfilling internship and field experience requirements needed for graduation. CSUCI’s John Spoore Broome Library established a work-around by implementing a virtual internship program for one undergraduate that benefited both the student and the library. This paper, coauthored by the intern, documents the virtual internship, describes the model and structure of the experience, and argues that such remote internships are one pandemic side effect that should remain to promote equity in library and information science.
虚拟大学生实习:高校图书馆应该保留的新冠肺炎副作用
2020年春季,由于COVID-19大流行,加州州立大学系统及其23个校区成为美国第一个承诺进行为期一年远程教学的校区。远程教学将系统的图书管理员与他们的用户分开,而用户的需求在系统的种族、经济和学术多样化的学生群体中尤其巨大。在加州州立大学海峡群岛分校(CSUCI),公共卫生准则和关闭使许多学生无法完成毕业所需的实习和实地经验要求。CSUCI的约翰·斯波尔·布鲁姆图书馆通过为一名本科生实施虚拟实习计划建立了一个解决方案,这对学生和图书馆都有好处。这篇由实习生共同撰写的论文记录了虚拟实习,描述了这种经历的模式和结构,并认为这种远程实习是一种普遍存在的副作用,应该继续促进图书馆和信息科学的公平。
