I am inquiring if anyone could assist me regarding a certain issue I am have having. Well, it is more like a crisis. I hope to have a career in academic librarianship after everything is said and done. However, at the moment I am relegated to suffering in public libraries. So if anyone could point me to an internship, part-time, or better yet full-time work in a academic library, I would be most grateful. Since, the experience and environment will be best suited for me and my future.
Thank you!

While there is nothing wrong with public libraries, I can suggest that the initiative that you need to take might proceed like this:
decide which sort of academic libaries area that you want to work in
make a list of academic libraries that you’d want to work at, you can find most institutions through academic360.com
go to their library websites, and find people that you’d like to work with.
send them an email, that explains your interests, that you are looking for an internship, and why you want to work with them specifically (this means you need to do a bit of research about the people).
