The Library of Congress is seeking applicants for its 2017 Junior Fellows 
Summer Intern Program- a 10-week paid fellowship for undergraduate and graduate 
students.

The 2017 class of Junior Fellows will work full-time with Library specialists 
and curators from May 30 through Aug. 4, 2017. Among other tasks, Junior 
Fellows inventory, describe, and explore collection holdings, and assist with 
digital-preservation outreach activities throughout the Library. The program 
aims to increase access to collections and awareness of the Library's 
digital-preservation programs by making them better-known and available to 
Members of Congress, scholars, researchers, students, teachers and the general 
public. A stipend is provided to participants.

The 2017 Junior Fellows will be exposed to a broad spectrum of library work, 
including but not limited to: collection processing, digital preservation, 
educational outreach, access, standards-setting, copyright and information 
management. The 2016 class of Junior Fellows processed rare treasures and 
played an integral part in completing substantive project work. In addition to 
participating in digitization initiatives and processing, cataloging and 
organizing various collections, the 2016 Junior Fellows: assisted in the 
development of a Congressional Research Service report; conducted pH tests and 
alkaline reserve tests on paper samples for preservation research; supported 
the redesign of various web presentations; and created finding aids and web 
guides to facilitate access for teachers, researchers and the general public.

Applications to the 2017 Junior Fellows Program will be accepted online only at 
www.usajobs.gov<http://www.usajobs.gov/>, keyword: Junior Fellows, from Monday, 
Dec. 12, 2016, until Friday, Jan. 27, 2017, 11:59 p.m. ET.

For more details about the program and information on how to apply, visit 
loc.gov/hr/jrfellows/<https://www.loc.gov/hr/jrfellows/>. Questions about the 
program may be sent to juniorfell...@loc.gov<mailto:juniorfell...@loc.gov>.

The Junior Fellows Summer Intern Program is made possible by a generous gift 
from James Madison Council member Nancy Glanville Jewell through the Glanville 
Family Foundation and from the Knowledge Navigators Trust Fund, which was 
established with a lead gift from H. F. (Gerry) Lenfest, former chairman of the 
Madison Council, and with major support provided by members of the Council. The 
program was originally made possible through the generosity of the late Mrs. 
Jefferson Patterson. The Library of Congress is an equal-opportunity employer. 
Women, minorities and persons with disabilities who meet eligibility 
requirements are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Library of Congress is the world's largest library, offering access to the 
creative record of the United States-and extensive materials from around the 
world-both on site and online. It is the main research arm of the U.S. Congress 
and the home of the U.S. Copyright Office. Explore collections, reference 
services and other programs and plan a visit at loc.gov<https://www.loc.gov/>, 
access the official site for U.S. federal legislative information at 
congress.gov<https://www.congress.gov/> and register creative works of 
authorship at copyright.gov<http://copyright.gov/>.
