University at Buffalo 1-3 credit Library and Information Studies
Students are placed in school media centers with tenured and certified library media specialists (LMS) for practicum experiences; one placement is at the elementary level (LIS 525E) and one at the secondary level (LIS 525S) for 35 days each, or in one setting (elementary or secondary) for 70 days. Students are supervised by a practicing library media specialist and a member of the DLIS faculty. The completion of a professional portfolio is required (LIS 525P). If you have a certification in another subject area and are working under a Supplementary Certificate or are working under an internship certificate you will not complete a practicum but will complete a special project. You will also have a designated professional who will evaluate your performance in the library.
