Internships for students

The HSU library provides students of Library and Information Science with an insight into the different activities and tasks of a university library during their practical semester. Since you are paving the way for your future professional experiences and impressions during these integrated internships, our aim is to make your internship here as varied and as future-oriented as possible.
