Today I started off by interviewing Jan Glover. Her job at the library is Education Services Coordinator. She organizes class and teaches about research material. Jan has been working at the Medical Library for 25 years. She went to the University of Denver, the University of Rhode Island, and the University of Maine. She loves giving tours of the Cushing Center and likes to uncover studies that haven't been published yet. Jan told me that it is easier for articles with positive results to get published and faster than articles with negative results. She says the whole truth includes the negative results too. Jan loves that working at the Yale Medical Library provides her with changing assignments and new things to try. Jan is most proud of when she came up with the Personal librarian Program in 1996. This is now a program used worldwide, which we both think is pretty cool.
After interviewing Jan, I picked up the video equipment for my healthflick video. I spent the rest of my day working on this video with Mr. Greenberg. We tried recording in different rooms of the library and tried out different ideas of my presentation. It was very interesting, and I will be working on the video for the rest of my internship!
Hill Regional Career High School interns explore health information careers such as medical librarianship at the Yale Medical Library with the help of Mr. Charles Greenberg and other staff members. The interns are given the opportunity to see how library staff access, manage, and apply medical research and interact with those on the Yale Medical Campus who work hands on with research.
