Day 3 of my Internship

Today was the 3rd day of my internship at Yale Medical Library. During my time there today, I had a chance to learn how to use the video equipment that I will be using for my Health Flick.

I learned how to set up the tripod, the microphone, the receiver and I also learned about different ways I will be able to do my health flick. I will be able to cut  and edit different parts of my flick, as well as control angle. I will get editing instruction on Monday.

After Mr. Greenberg practices setting up the equipment. I was able to work on gathering information for my script. He also taught me ways to find pictures that are legally shared to use to use instead of just searching and using pictures with a copyright use restriction.  The shared images use something called Creative Commons to give sharing permission.

Day 2 of My Internship

Today was the second day of my internship at the Harvey Cushing Medical Library. Today, I was at the circulation desk learning about how to check in and check out books, which is done with a fascinating new system called Voyager. I also met Ms. Melonie Norton. She is the manager of  Access and delivery Services (circulation desk). After learning about what resources t hey provide for not only students here at Yale, but to the community, Finally, I got the chance to sit down and interview with Mr.Iljea Lee; the evening and weekend supervisor.

When asked " What would you recommend that students do on this internship and why?", he replied "Students who participate in this internship should do research, as well as get to know what resources would be available to them if they are looking to go into the medical field because it would be constructive. They should also do hands on activities so they can get the actual feel of what it is like doing these activities".

 I also got the chance to see new and exciting parts of the Medical Library that no public library has, such as volumes of journals and thesis books that are available to the public, as well as historic items that are on display for everyone to see. 

My first internship day at the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library

I'm Ajenae, and today was my first day at the Cushing Whitney Medical Library. I basically did orientation to my next three weeks: Learning how to blog, making interview questions and getting acquainted with people here in the Library. We went over my schedule and the activities and duties I will be responsible for during my time here at the Library. I also interviewed with Mr.Greenberg and I learned a lot as far as his occupation, what he likes to do here; and what courses in school made him want to work in a library. Mr.Greenberg and I also talked about my Health Flicks video. This is the Healthflick done by Emma on Aneurysms.

We discussed what I will be doing and different approaches I can take when doing it. Overall, my first day went phenomenal. My interview with Mr. Greenberg helped me practice the questions I created about career motivation and activity.
