Research Library offers a full array of desktop and customized library services to staff members

based projects that will allow the Library to improve services to the Board community and to
improve efficiencies in staff work.

the staff use in providing services to the Board;
Self-guided library tour – Develop a self-guided tour of the library based on QR codes;
Library Portal – Assist the Library’s Web Portal Team in developing plans for the
redesign of the library’s website. This project may involve interviews with Board
stakeholders and webmasters in other libraries and the identification of library websites
with features we would like to emulate.
Technology bar – Work with librarians to develop and launch a demo area at the front of
the library where digital library and data resources will be highlighted.
The internship is located in Washington, D.C. and lasts ten to twelve weeks. Students
