We
are looking for a new Editorial Intern to assist our Editorial Team. The ideal
candidate will be in place by October 2018 and will commit to serving a two
year term.
The
role of the Intern is to:
- Provide
a final editorial check of proofed copy before publication, using the
pre-developed checklist
- Check
and edit the item metadata on the EBLIP
website to ensure title, author, and abstract correspond to the submitted
manuscript
- Assist
the Editor-in-Chief and Communications Officer with calls for papers or
calls for volunteers
- Assist
with investigation and implementation of new projects related to the
journal
- Participate
in monthly Editorial Team meetings
The
ideal candidate will be an MLIS (or equivalent) student or a recent graduate
(past 2 years) interested in evidence based practice and research methods, and
who possesses strong attention to detail. The position requires dedicated time
on a regular basis, and it is therefore essential that interested persons
ensure available time to devote to this position prior to applying. It is
estimated that the workload is approximately 10 hours per month.
Interested
persons should send a cover letter, indicating areas of strength they would
bring to the role, and resume/cv as a single PDF file
to Lorie Kloda, Editor-in-Chief, at lorie.kloda@concordia.ca by
July 20, 2018. Specific queries about the role should be addressed to the
current Editorial Intern, Rachel Hinrichs at rhinrich@iupui.edu.
