Day Four: Part One

Interview with Mrs. Lynn Sette

This morning I interviewed Mrs. Lynn Sette. She's the marketing face of the library. Due to the dropping numbers of students that actually visit the library, they had to find a way to make the library more appealing to students. She was inspired from her mentor who worked here for many years in what is now called the Collection Development department. She held her first job in education as a Special Education teacher and soon discovered her passion for librarianship. She says the most difficult thing about her job is the continuously changing technology, and one of the most important things about her job are that she provides practicing pediatricians and dermatologists with the proper research techniques and databases to find anything they are looking for quickly and efficiently. A few personality traits she recommends if you want to peruse the same career are that you have to be a "go-getter", have patience, and good listening skills. A few things that keep her at peace, here at the Medical library, are her co-workers and a good boss.
