I had about three meetings today and each of them was very exciting. I met with Lei, who was the creator of the Library Tutorial 101, which happens to be on the homepage on the library’s website. He asked me for my feedback about the tutorial considering that I got the chance to watch it my first day. Working with him on the tutorial was very important because his tutorial is one that is designed to relate to a person in my age range and getting my opinion on it was helpful to him. We discussed both the pro and the con about the tutorial and the upgrades that could be made to it. I also was able to get a tour of the sub-basement level with Sarah, who works with Reservation. Her job is basically to help upkeep the really old books in the library, texts that date back to the 15th century and most texts which belong to Harvey Cushing himself. She explained to me the history behind all the books and how much progress she has made to the books and even the entire upkeep. It was really fun today getting one on one time with a member of the staff and having them explain to me what they do.
