Library

• Public libraries: e.g. state libraries
• Academic libraries: e.g. university libraries

Here are regional examples of libraries that provide internships.

In the higher service (the area in libraries that is accessible with a university degree) there are two typical areas of activity: Subject department and administration/management.

In the subject department, which is usually the subject area of one's own course of study, one has the following tasks: Research and conceptualization for the acquisition of literature, indexing of the literature (making it accessible by keywords), systematization, cataloging, advising users, maintaining the collections, and often public relations.
In administrative functions, university graduates primarily take on typical management tasks: Personnel matters, planning and monitoring work processes, recognizing developments and initiating changes. This area increasingly requires business management skills, which can usually be acquired in the form of additional qualifications.

The management of scientific collections, fundraising or public relations also represent fields of work for humanities scholars in libraries. In the public sector, however, these are only accessible via the civil service career path, i.e. via the library traineeship or a specific  master's degree course in documentation.

Work as a

• student assistant in a library
• intern:in libraries or in knowledge management
• student:representative:in the library commission

Requirements for starting a career

• Experience with specific electronic and digital databases
• Competences in dealing with legal requirements
• journalistic experience is also welcome

A doctorate is not required, but is useful. Entry into the higher civil service is almost exclusively possible with the library traineeship after a master's degree/the 1st state examination or a doctorate. Places for a traineeship are unfortunately rare and are tied to the required subjects (20-25 per year in Germany, 3-6 in Hesse).
Otherwise, there are third-party funded projects, especially in the digital field, where the traineeship is desired but not mandatory.

Experience in the book trade is unfortunately not helpful due to the divergent approaches to the subject matter.

Archive, documentation, positions in the non-profit sector and in companies with references to systematization, consulting, fundraising, public relations.

Caution: There are regularly jobs for librarians (in the upper public service; often still under the keyword Diplom-Bibliothekar). For this, however, an explicit study of librarianship is necessary, another university degree is not a prerequisite for entry.
