Today I met with Sarah and she is the preservation Librarian for the Cushing/Whitney Medical library. Sarah works in the historical library and it's one of the finest historical medical collections. Sarah works on preserving very rare and valuable book there are over 130,000 rare books, journals, pamphlets manuscripts, art and more! She also works with students from the school of medicine. Sarah was nice enough to take me to se the fabulous book collection, I saw ancient book from the 1800's and even earlier books from Aristotle, Leonardo Da Vinci and too many more to mention. Sarah made the historic library seem so interesting because of all the things people wrote, it really was a great experience to see such a rare collection.

If anyone in the library has technical difficulties with any computer Jason is the one to go to. Jason always had a thing for computers ever since he was a child, and plans on going back to school.

Today I met with Mark and he does the clinical support. He help Doctors and today when I interviewed him, he was helping a doctor from Uganda in Africa. Mark also knows a lot about PDA's and other hand held gadgets that make research more convienient for Doctors at the office or even on the go. He knows about the latest equipment and he is a very helpful person when it comes to the new smart-phones and PDA Resources & Services .
Contact Mark,
After I finished interviewing Mark I went over to Bob. He is the Business manager and he is in charge of the finances of the Medical library. He makes sure all the staff gets paid including security which is important. Bob is the person the faculty goes to in order to make financial decisions because he manages the budget, and YES YALE has a budget. So that means he is very good at math..... and he is he loves math and in high school it was his favorite subject. Too bad its not mine =( but his job requires him to have a strong background in mathematics. Bob was a very interesting person and i'll be sure to go to him when I'm having trouble with my math homework.
