Residency Program
The Pauline A. Young Residency offers professional experience in a technology-rich, academic research library setting to recent graduates of ALA-accredited master degree programs. The three-year residency is designed to meet both the professional goals and interests of the resident as well as the service and operational priorities of the University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press.
The 2023-2026 Residency is focused on open education, open access, and publishing. The Resident will have the opportunity to lead efforts to develop sustainable workflows around OER publishing.
The purpose of the residency is to encourage the involvement of individuals from under-represented groups in academic librarianship; however the residency is open to any individual regardless of race, color, and/or national origin, and we encourage applications from any qualified candidate.
