Our library partners provide a project for interns, and the interns work with NCDS guidance on the project where they will gain hands-on practical experience. Your library does not need to have data expertise, as the support for completing the project will come from NCDS. The partnering library should however meet frequently with the 3 interns for their site, provide all the documentation, and answer questions to be clear about the data and any other context needed for use. Projects do not solely need to be analysis; your project could be data management, data curation, use of AI, and other projects that provide practical relevant skills. If your project uses tools outside of the knowledge base of NCDS (e.g., specialized institutional software or a particular niche programming language package), please make sure you have expertise on-site for that particular tool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*<\/strong>Please note: The 2024 summer internship will be fully virtual.
