Today I met with Judy Spak. Judy is a Curriculum Support Librarian at the Cushing/ Whitney Medical Library. Judy helps faculty use technology when teaching, and she is the Blackboard System Administrator. Judy is a liaison for the basic sciences departments. Judy went to college for a total of seven years, and she enjoyed it because she loves to learn new things.She attended Hofstra University in New York for her Bachelors degree and Southern Connecticut State University for her MLS. Judy's favorite thing about her job is working with the faculty and students because she is a real people person. A skill that someone would need to succeed in this career is the love of computers, because this type of work is electronically based. The most challenging thing about this job is trying to get everything done on the to do list, but the easiest thing is working with people. Judy has been at Yale for 15 years, and she plans on being at Yale in the future.
After meeting with Judy, I met with John Gallagher. John is the Deputy Director of Public Services at the Cushing/ Whitney Medical Library. John is a Liaison to the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation. He is responsible for the physical library and he oversees construction projects in the library. John is a Personal Librarian to forty students. John's favorite thing about his job is working with the staff and students. He enjoys helping others and making sure that everyone that visits the library enjoys their time here. The most challenging thing about his job us that there is always so much to do, but never enough time. What keeps John motivated to come to work everyday is the people here at the library. John loves what he does and he would not change his job if he had the chance to. Today was a very interesting because I had the opportunity to interview two intelligent and friendly . I had a great day!
