Library Of Congress To Offer Special Junior Fellows Summer Internships
"The Library of Congress, home of the U.S. Copyright Office, is offering special 10-week summer internships to college students who will work full-time, starting on June 5 and ending on Aug. 11, to help locate and itemize uncataloged materials submitted to the office as part of the copyright registration process. The previous summer interns identified hundreds of literary, artistic, film and musical gems among the Library's copyright deposits. The application deadline is Monday, March 13. Applications will be accepted only online and should be sent to the 2006 Summer Intern Program Coordinating Committee at interns06@loc.gov. For details on how to apply, visit http://www.loc.gov/hr/jrfellows."
-- Electronic Journals
Source: ACRL ACRL endorses call for urgent action to preserve scholarly electronic journals
"ACRL recognizes that the electronic environment poses significant challenges for long-term preservation of, and access to, information. Since most libraries do not actually own and store the content of the journals they license in electronic form, new models for preservation must be developed. Scholars may face serious loss of access to published research if libraries do not adopt effective electronic journal preservation strategies. ACRL encourages all academic libraries to take action to preserve their electronic journal collections."
