Guide to Research: Internships

This guide lists directories of internships in a wide variety of fields and locations. For job information for the local area, see the Reference Department guide Washington Jobs.  Because this is not a comprehensive list of sources, you may also want to consult a reference librarian.  A primary resource for Georgetown University students is the MBNA Career Information Center, which provides information about conducting an internship search. This guide can be found online at http://www.library.georgetown.edu/guides/internships/
