Today I met with Jan and we learned about her experience in the Yale Medical Library. She taught me about PubMed and how it's a great source for quick and specific searching tool. I really liked the Tutorials that Jan told me to watch because I had a better look at how I can use it and how it will come in help when I will be in college. I talked to Jan about her teaching classes and her experiences withthem and she said that it's very fun and that she has been teaching the majority of the classes.

Today I was with the Circulation desk where I met with Alah and George. They were very nice and they helped me understand what they do behind the circulation desk and theat was very fun. I also met Rick and he is the Circulation manager and he also provides excess to everything in the library. He likes to provide the best customer service and really enjoys helping the patrons at the Yale Medical Library. I learned different things from Rick like where the Reserved books go, that there is a certaing amount of days for certain books that can be checked out, and if any of the patrons or customers have a problem then they may ask for help from the circulation desk and they will help you clear the fine if it's not your fault. I also helped Alah checking in books and helped stack the book as well.

Today I was introduced to Jan and was able to attend one of her classes called EndNote Basics this was a very fun class where you learn how to manage citations. It was terrific because Jan was teaching it. I observed and saw how interesting things you have to go through in order for you to become a librarian. I can't wait till I meet Jan and interview her!!

Today I met with Lynn, Lei, and Judy. I interviewed them and I got a chance to find out what they do. I was very pleased and I enjoyed. My favorite part was when we talked about high school days and how fun they were. I learned alot not only that they are librarians, but what type of librarians they are Lynn is an Academic refernce Librarian, Lei is a Medical Librarian and he also designs webpages, and Judy is a Curriculum Support librarian. One thing that I learned was that there are alot of types of librarians.

Hello everyone I'm Anmol Patel, the new C.H.I.L.I intern! Today I was given a tour of the Yale Medical Library. I met Dexter at the Circulation Desk. I took a look at Charles Darwin's work, went around the whole library and had explored all of the great stuff they had. I loved it. My favorite part was when I met new people and learned about their occupation and I'm looking forward to meet other new people.
