Learning and personal development occurs as a result of students
engaging in both academic and non-academic activities, inside and
outside the classroom. To enhance student learning, DLIS strives to
make classroom experiences more productive and also encourage
students to devote more of their time outside the classroom to
educationally and professionally purposeful activities. The
following are some of the activities available to students outside
the classroom:
- Internships

many New York-area libraries and information organizations that
