Students must have completed their sophomore year in college prior to the start of the internship.

Additionally, the library provides research in support of the bureaus production needs, utilizing the most current technologies available – Lexis-Nexis; KRs Dialog, Factiva and the Internet.

There are two CNN DC library internship opportunities available. Both internships will provide a great opportunity to learn various aspects of librarianship and television production in CNNs fast-paced library. One of the internships will be filled with a student pursuing a Master of Library Science (MLS) degree. Interns will assist the library staff in preparing for digital conversion by learning how to evaluate a section of the tape library and deciding which videotapes will be cataloged and saved as part of the permanent collection. This also includes learning to create library records for each saved tape and appropriately indexing those records for future retrieval. Interns will learn to use online resources to assist in evaluating video and in the creation of records. Interns will shadow the library staff as they complete requests for video and/or research to support the bureaus news coverage of DC political and federal events, programs such as The Situation Room, and other bureaus needs of DC-centric information and video.

The MLS intern will also learn to assist the librarians in various projects such as contributing ideas and compiling content for the DC Bureaus Library intranet site as well as helping to develop the intranet site; and library records/database maintenance. The MLS intern will have the opportunity to participate in the creation and development of instructional classes on various topics (e.g., research techniques, print and internet resources).

Candidates should have an interest in variety of areas including journalism and should be an organized self-starter.
