Meeting with Lynn Sette

Today I met with Lynn Sette. Lynn is a Reference Librarian at the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library. Lynn has medical students that see her as their personal librarian. Ms. Sette also works as a library liaison, a task that matches the staff with a department, like the pediatrics department. For the Library Lynn does marketing and publicly of new resource events. The most challenging thing about her job is that technology updates constantly. Lynn likes her job because she loves to help people. Lynn has been in this job for thirty years. I enjoyed My interview with Lynn because she was so friendly and kind.

After interviewing Lynn I sat in on a meeting with Lynn and Sarah Burge. The meeting was about picking pictures from the 1600s and making a card set out of them for the Library. I learned from Sarah that in the 1600s people would copy down from one book because all books were handwritten. I learned that most Library's of that time had about four books which was considered a lot because they were handwritten. I saw beautiful Arabic pictures of animals, trees, and plants. This collection is for the Ameel Project. There are two sections already and their names are: Oasis Of the Middle East and Iraq Recollection Project. They will add the Ameel NEH Project which is these groups of pictures. I enjoyed this very much because I love art and history. So having them combined together made this experience even better.
