North Carolina Central University News December 2, 2014 NCCU School of Library and Information Sciences Teams with Law Library of Congress for New Internship Program Students enrolled in North Carolina Central University's joint Juris Doctor/Master of Library Science degree program will have the opportunity to intern at the largest and most prestigious law library in the world. School of Library and Information Sciences Dean Irene Owens has announced an agreement with the Law Library of Congress to serve as a practicum and internship site for students enrolled in the joint-degree program beginning in the summer of 2015. "This is an exciting and valuable opportunity for our students," Owens said. "Selected students will have a chance to experience an array of duties and responsibilities at the Law Library of Congress, including working in the Digital Resources Division and conducting public service activities on behalf of the library." NCCU's interns will be required to spend 120 hours in the Law Library and will be assigned to specific projects, among them the inventory of legal gazettes donated by the United Nations Dag Hammarskjold Library and initiatives of the Public Services Division and Global Legal Research Directorate. Law Librarian of Congress David Mao, NCCU School of Law Librarian Nikki Perry, and Professor Patrick Roughen worked with Dean Owens to set up the internship/practicum program. Roughen, who holds both a Juris Doctor degree and a doctorate in library science will serve as faculty adviser for the program. SANDRA M.
