Today was the first day of my internship at the Cushing Whitney Medical Library. Charles Greenberg gave me a tour of the library. I was surprised to see how big the library was. I have a feeling I am going to get lost at least once. Charles Greenberg told me about the history of the library. I met a few of the employees and they showed me what they did. Their names were Daniel, Mary and Earl. They were all very interesting, and each of them have a specific job. Daniel was responsible for going through the mail that came to the library and deciding which journals the library was going to purchase. This may seem easy, but it is not. First he had to see which journals were viewed the most and then he had to see if the price of the journals fit into the library's budget. Mary was responsible for taking the old journals and getting them ready to be bound into hardcover books. Earl was responsible for a program called SFD ( I'm not sure if that is correct).
