IITD CĹAN

CĹAN - Central Library, IITD

Central Library, IIT Delhi, has been offering Library Internships since 2007. Each year, a batch of young professionals is recruited and trained through doing-by-learning in all library divisions. This internship program provides valuable hands-on experience for the interns and benefits the library by providing additional support in various services. Over the period, Central Library has trained over 120 young library professionals. The success stories of some professionals who have completed the internship program at Central Library and are now excelling in their professional careers are known to us.
