Day Seven!

Today I did a series of interviews with Mr. Hongbin Liu, who works as the webmaster for the Medical library, Daniel and his staff that work together as the Collection Development and Management team. Hongbin manages the website for the Medical library and helps make it convenient for those who don't physically come to the library. He always liked computers and enjoys managing the website. He recommended if you want to be a webmaster like he is, you should be funny, enjoy learning, and you shouldn't take yourselves too seriously. I then met with Daniel, Chris, Bill and Caitlin. They all work together to purchase, subscribe, and lease online books and journals. These materials are available for the Medical students and faculty to use to their advantage. Chris catalogs books for the library's use. Caitlin, Bill and Daniel find and purchase online journals and books they think will be beneficial for the library to have. Caitlin and Bill said the most difficult part of their job is trying to budget the fund given to them by the University just right; not over spending, and not under spending. Daniel says the most difficult part of his job was being a good manager. The e-collection's staff main focus is to manage the shift from a print based library to an online based library....not entirely online though :)

Today I made lots of progress! I finished my Healthflicks video! Enjoy! :)
