U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Library

Compiling scanning and indexing the CSA (Controlled Substances Act)

Intern: Angelique Richardson

Code: DEAL-03

The legislative history of the CSA is a very important collection to DEA. Half of the legislative history has been captured by the DEA Library staff but the completion of the CSA will take a dedicated and inquisitive researcher who will become familiar with the electronic content of government documents on Lexis/Nexis and WEST Law and also become familiar with the collection of the main research library at the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. (three stops from here on the yellow line).

You will work independently but you will have many librarians as a resource for all of your questions. We are a group that work very well together and having fun is also very important.

Benchmarking Knowledge Services

Code: DEAL-01

The DEA Library would like to demonstrate the connection between the library information that is delivered to the DEA organization and the achievement of the agency mission. Understanding the client base reviewing recent projects and developing a short survey will be a great project to begin to identify measures and communicate results.

Compiling scanning and indexing international drug laws of Africa

Code: DEAL-02

The African continent has begun to play a key role in the shipment of illegal drugs. The DEA Library would like to complete a project to collect drug laws of the African nations scan them and make them available to DEA Special Agents and legal counsel via the library intranet site. The Library of Congress has a unique collection of international laws as does the U.N. Lexis and several other internet sources.

You will work independently but you will have the assistance of many librarians; at DEA (Drug enforcement Administration) and DOJ (Department of Justice). We are a group of librarians that work well together and like to have fun at the same time.
