I've worked for a few magazine (Rolling Stone, US Weekly, and Playgirl [yes I was an art director for a porn mag]), and for DC Comics as well. I've also worked for a webcomics company and this weird art collective conceptual art project turned mobile software company). Nothing specifically with books. However, I'm going out to lunch with several friends in the industry-- specifically in book publishing and I can ask around, and I'll take a look at the Hearst job board to see if there's anyone offering internships. My parent company owns a lot of newspapers, magazines, and a couple book imprints as well as having a digital arm and some television connections, so there are a lot of options there as long as they're looking for something like what you do.

Do you mind explaining what management information systems is a little more so I know I'm looking for the right thing? It's not something I'm familiar with.

I got this job through working in comics already, and yeah-- I was into strips when I was very young and then got interested in comic books when I was a teen. Now I work in strips.
