Library & Information Science (LIS) students at ALA-accredited programs are invited to apply for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)-funded CollectionBuilder Student Program for Spring 2025. CollectionBuilder is an open source framework for creating digital collection and exhibit websites. To see example projects, please visit our CollectionBuilder Examples site.
Program details: The CollectionBuilder Student Program will take place during the Spring 2025 semester. Eight selected students will attend virtual training sessions with the CollectionBuilder team focused on gaining foundational web development skills and learning how to use CollectionBuilder. They also will work with the CollectionBuilder team and other student program participants to experiment with creative uses of the CollectionBuilder framework in a cohort environment. The student cohort will use CollectionBuilder’s robust documentation and follow tutorials to set up their sites, and then work together to implement and document customization ideas. No prior technical knowledge is required, so this is a chance to learn in a supportive environment!
Application details: Applications are due Sunday, December 1, and applicants will be notified in early December. Please visit the CollectionBuilder Student Program page for details and application form.
If you have any questions about CollectionBuilder and/or the application process, please email the CollectionBuilder Team [email protected] or Evan Williamson [email protected]. Thank you!
