My Third Day (July 9, 2009)
Today I got the chance to interview and find out more about Charlie Greenberg, himself. He coordinates a group of specialist like Jan, Judy, Holly, Denise, Lei, etc., so that they can accomplish their goals or missions. He also is the grand coordinator and manages the Chili project as well as for intern supervision. Charlie also works in Liaison for the surgery and emergency medicine. He also manages all the medical students theses so that anyone in the world can be able to see them. In the past he also worked for 10 years managing the information desk and then passed it on for others to work there too. Not only has he been apart of the Chili program but he also has worked in a program called Librarians without borders and with the Medical Library Association and is a supporter of Global Health that involves statistics. Overall he has been working as a librarian for 28 years, 4 of them supervising and managing the Chili program. Charlie enjoys the constant interaction, educational role, and the new resources that the library offers. He also enjoys traveling for conferences and as a matter of fact his first airplane flight was during on of the conferences. Some memorable experiences that he has were teaching in a foreign country for 2 weeks in Armenia where you can find out more about at http://ysmuvisit.blogspot.com/. Another experience he enjoyed was when about 5 years ago he listened to a lechers at the historical library where a man talked about the future of genetics. Things that he feels have changed during his time at the medical library are how his department has become a closer working team, how the importance of social networking has allowed more ways of communicating among his co-workers, and how now there is a network of library leaders to talk with and consult about different issues and concerns. In the future he hope to be either an associate of Libraries or a Bully Pulpit at YALE. He also can see himself writing for personal and scholar use.
