Meeting with Curriculum Support Librarian (continue August 4, 2009)

I also met with Judy who is a Curriculum Support Librarian in the medical library. She is Liaison to the Basic Science Department of the school of medicine. Sometimes she works at the information desk. Also she attends meetings, respond to technical problems, and is working on organizing orientations and schedule for the new medical students. Her meetings have allowed her to travel around the country such as Utah, Denver, Vancover, and Dallas. During the meetings, discussions are about networking and new things. When she was my age she didn't know what career she wanted to follow. She had a bachalor degree in English but got a librarianship degree from Southern Connecticut. She loves being a medical librarian because she enjoys working with her collegues, learning new things all the time, and interacting with the medical students. She has been in this job for 14 years and isn't ready to retire. What keeps her happy is her interactions with people and being recognized for her efforts.
