University of Illinois

The Library Access Midwest Program (LAMP) is a collaboration between schools of library and information science and academic libraries which seeks to build a more diverse academic library workforce. As constituents of LAMP, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Dominican University, Michigan State University, Marquette University, University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Iowa, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Wayne State University will recruit twenty promising undergraduates with an emphasis on those from ethnic minority backgrounds to participate in activities and events designed to increase their awareness of career opportunities in library and information science. In addition to these activities, these undergraduates will be provided with paid internships in participating academic libraries.
