Abstract: Academic libraries face a scarcity of qualified candidates necessary to enrich and sustain the field of international studies librarianship. Factors contributing to the problem include general limited awareness of this specialty as an occupation, and a lack of professional training opportunities focused on cultivating and blending technical skills with the linguistic and cultural knowledge essential for the job. This case study describes the effort of the University of Michigan Library to boost interest, competency, and ultimately recruitment, in this line of work through an internship designed to introduce international studies librarianship as a compelling career path for students with non-Western language expertise.
