Ilaria Camerini is excited to spend her summer here in Corning, New York. To this resident of Rome, Italy, working abroad “means having the possibility to share ideas and experiences with colleagues from different countries.” She will join 12 other interns who come from across the United States to work at The Corning Museum of Glass this summer, including several who will work alongside her at the Rakow Research Library.
Ilaria, Erin Fitterer, Allison Shanafelter, and Anna Halgash are the latest students and young professionals to gain experience by working at the Rakow Library. Over the past decade, Library interns have worked in every area of the department. They have helped with important day-to-day tasks like cataloging books and other materials, processing archival collections, answering reference questions, creating web and social media content, and leading tours and instruction. They have also helped out on special projects like conserving large-scale stained-glass cartoons for the Discovering the Whitefriars Collection project, assisting with Library exhibitions, and collecting and indexing recordings for our oral history project.
