A six-month internship at the Stanford University Library allowed the author to observe the processes of setting objectives, planning services and programs, coordinating activities, and motivating personnel to work for common goals both within and outside the library, and to draw conclusions from this experience relevant to her own library. This report outlines the segments of the internship program and the observations made on the structure of library governance at Stanford. An analysis is made of the value of the internship program and its implications for changes in management style. (SL)
