Hill Regional Career High School interns explore health information careers such as medical librarianship at the Yale Medical Library with the help of Mr. Charles Greenberg and other staff members. The interns are given the opportunity to see how library staff access, manage, and apply medical research and interact with those on the Yale Medical Campus who work hands on with research.
YALE MEDICAL LIBRARY
Monday, August 6, 2007
Today I arrived early so I worked on my blog. Then I met with Mr. Greenberg at the reference desk. He explained to me how things work at the desk. Then he gave me a book with different titles of journals from the 17th and 18th century. I choose to read Archives of Dermatology: Skin and Veneral Diseases. In order to view the journal you have to use a computer-like machine called MicroSP2000. The journals are on what is called Micro film. It was really cool and the information in the journal was I read was very interesting. After this, I had a class which was taught by Mr. Greenberg. In the class I learned how to use a program called RefWorks. Refworks is software that enables you to collect references for books, journals articles, etc. into a personal database. It can also be used to generate bibliographies in different formats such as MLA and APA. Then I went over to the Sterling Library and met Sharon Tarascio.She was very nice. During our meeting she asked me questions about my internship. We also talked about college.
