College of Information master’s student Erin VanClay has been chosen to participate in the Junior Fellows Summer Intern Program at the U.S. Library of Congress. The internships are competitive, with selection based on academic achievement, letters of recommendation, and in most cases an interview with a selection official.

According to the Library of Congress (home of the U.S. Copyright Office), “The interns will be exposed to a broad spectrum of library work: preservation, reference, access standards, information management and the U.S. copyright system. Working closely with Library staff and curators, they will be given the task of delving deeply into key parts of the Library’s unparalleled nonbook collections, producing an inventory and identifying literary, artistic and musical examples of past American creativity.”

We congratulate Erin on this achievement and opportunity. To learn more information visit the Junior Fellows Summer Intern Program web site.
