YALE MEDICAL LIBRARY
Monday, July 16, 2012
Today I interviewed Charles Greenberg, who is the Special Project Librarian. He attended Albany State University, where he received a Bachelor degree and a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science. Mr.Greenberg also has had many past jobs. Before he became a Special Project Librarian he was the Coordinator of Curriculum and Research Support, and before that, he was the Head of Reference Services. On a typical day, he spends his time reviewing too much email. He also teaches students how to be more efficient and helps them expand their knowledge, which is one of his favorite aspects of his job. Recently Mr.Greenberg has traveled to Armenia (http://hyelibrarians.tumblr.com/) where he taught adults skills they need to have in order to be a successful health sciences librarian. He also discussed with me how his working environment is very calm and how his colleagues are pleasant to be around.One thing that really caught my attention was when I asked him what other dreams he has; his response was world peace through individual happiness. He explained to me how him helping other students achieve their academic goals helps them bring forth happiness in others, and that gets him closer to the bigger dream.
