Meeting with Head of Collection Department

So after meeting with the acquisition assistants, I met with Daniel, who is the head of the collection department and management. He manages the department by helping the staff, he makes sure that the budget is proficient and is not over-spent, and he is really involved with HINARI, which is a website that offers books to other countries. Daniel did not start out as a librarian, actually he was interested in politics. He recieved his bachelors degree in political science from the Appalachain State University, but recieved his library degree from the University of Maryland.He likes being a librarian, but says that it is challenging to keep on top of everything. He would like to spend more time on HINARI if there was anything he could change.
What is necessary for him to be happy is being able to not get overwhelmed, just trying to get things aligned. A typical day for him is looking at his schedule, going to meetings, and talking to the staff in the department to see how things are going. He also goes to a class on time management; the activities varies from day to day. His memorable experiences are solving problems of people and working with the staff. One of his acheivements is using funds for usage of data. He has been in the job for 2 and a half years and 8 years at Yale. He hopes to still be in the job and will adapt to the change as the job keeps evolving.
