YALE MEDICAL LIBRARY

Today I had a chat with some of the Collection Development and Management staff. They are the ones responsible for ordering books for the library, managing journals and newspapers. This job allows one to work online which makes it more flexible. Due to technological advancement one does not have to work in a specific office. A degree in Library Science is required in order to work in the field of the library. One has to have a passion for fixing problems and organizing information. Constant new learning skills are needed in the field because things are always changing.
Believe it or not, library staff who collect information and organize it make it easier for doctors, nurses, medical students and other health professional to get information they need.
