Curriculum Support

Today I interviewed Judy, a curriculum support librarian that has been working at the Yale Medical library for 15 years. Judy trains faculty, runs the medical learning management system, and serves as the program liaison. Judy helps medical school students access a computer based tutorial program information to help them study for a major test they have to take their second year of medical school. She thinks that librarians play a big role in the field of medicine because they are information specialists, who understand how to search for information. Judy also believes they are great partners with doctors, providing accurate information to help them treat their patients. Judy thinks that curiosity and patience are needed for her job; she says, one has to be able to solve problems and ask questions. Dealing and interacting with people is a big part of her job.
Today I learned that Life is a roller coaster. You might choose to do something and later have to change because of a life situation. For example Judy majored in English, then ten years later she went back to school because the job she had was being eliminated.
