This program offers undergraduate, graduate students and recent graduates insight into the environment and culture of the world's largest and most comprehensive repository of human knowledge. Interns will be exposed to a broad spectrum of library work: copyright, preservation, reference, access standards, and information management. Near the end of their appointments at the Library, the interns join together to present their accomplishments and share their insights on the impact of their work.
The assignments will span many professional fields at the Library, including information technology, human capital, event planning, communications, collections support and research. Interns work with Library staff on mission-critical projects that utilize the interns’ existing skills.
