Day 4 of my internship at the Medical Library

Today I met with three people, Melissa Grafe, John Gallagher, and Mark Gentry.

I started out by talking with Melissa who is the Medical Library Historical Librarian. She has been working at the Medical Library since July 2001. Before I sat down to talk with her she showed me the collections of books and paintings they have collected over the years. We looked at looks from the 1200s, which was really cool! Melissa went to college for history and politics. She got her PhD at John Hopkins. She says the most exciting part of her job is finding stuff that you don't expect to see. She loves all the people she gets to meet and enjoys working with one of the best collections in the country.

Then I met with John Gallagher who is Medical Library Associate Director. he has been working here for 13 years. Mr.Gallagher went to school in Ireland, where he was born and raised. He loves all the people he gets to meet and help out. He says that he wishes that he could find a way to make everyone's job easier. Outside of the library he like to garden, read, and spend time with his family.

Lastly, I met with Mark Gentry, who is a Clinical Support Librarian and the coordinator of Medical Library Technology services andsupport. He attended classes at seven different colleges, and managed to earn degrees at three of them. Mark enjoys helping people with what they need and getting the information at they need. He also enjoys all the intelligent people he gets to assist at a place like a medical center. His teachers in college inspired him to be the person he is today. Mark likes to play the guitar, read, watch movies, and travel outside of his job.
