crl-15834	Knowlton, Sean Patrick; Imamoto, Becky	Recruiting Non-MLIS Graduate Students to Academic Librarianship	2006	10	.pdf	application/pdf	5449	255	43	In response to declining numbers of qualified applicants nationwide for librarian positions in academic libraries, the University of Colorado at Boulder Libraries, in collaboration with the University’s Graduate Teacher Program, has developed a fellowship program that encourages gradu- ate students with advanced subject or language expertise to consider careers in academic librarianship.
