The Office of Strategic Initiatives (OSI) at the Library of Congress is now accepting applications for flexible, unpaid summer internships for undergraduate and graduate-level students! The Library of Congress is the nation's oldest federal cultural institution and serves as the research arm of Congress. It is also the largest library in the world, with millions of books, recordings, photographs, maps and manuscripts in its collections. The Library's mission is to support the Congress in fulfilling its constitutional duties and to further the progress of knowledge and creativity for the benefit of the American people. Graduate and undergraduate-level interns work on a diverse array of projects in numerous educational fields such as business, information technology, journalism, and digital curation. Mentors work directly with interns offering a professional relationship
