Volunteer Experiences
Internships: http://www.idealist.org and http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/unyin/internships.htm
Although unpaid (and airfare is usually not included), internships are a great short-term work experience. Food and board are sometimes included, and you may be able to negotiate terms. Idealist.org lists many opportunities and the UN accepts applications from students. During library school, the end of your program is a great time to apply.

World Library Partnership
This is a 4-week summer volunteer program. “Since 1998, 125 volunteers have worked with libraries in Zimbabwe, Honduras and South Africa.” For 2005, the volunteer program has been suspended and the future of the organization seems uncertain.
