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.
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.
