Internship Programme Conducted by the Library of the University of Colombo

The Library of the University of Colombo successfully conducted a 20-day internship programme from January to April 2025 for the BA (Hons) in Library & Information Science students of the University of Kelaniya.

This internship was designed to provide students with comprehensive practical training in the core functions of a university library. Throughout the programme, students received guidance and mentorship from Senior Assistant Librarians and Assistant Librarians, who shared their professional expertise and insights.

The primary objective of the internship was to offer hands-on experience in various aspects of academic library operations, including cataloguing, circulation, reference services, digital resource management, and user education. The training served as a valuable opportunity for students to bridge theoretical knowledge with real-world practice in a professional academic setting.
