Abstract: One of the newer forms of short-term staffing is the establishment of resident librarian and fellowship positions. These programs usually run for one to two years and are designed to provide structured learning opportunities to new professionals. Many of them were originally developed to increase the ranks of ethnically, racially, and other underrepresented groups in the profession. Recently, other programs that offer specific subject or technical skills to support specialization have developed in needed areas, such as medicine, science, or engineering.
This chapter will look at the residency programs and the models that might be used to create a program within a library. Although these are longer in duration than many of the opportunities discussed in other chapters in this book, because they are time limited, it is important to discuss how they fit an organization’s staffing needs.
