Volunteering

This summer I volunteered at the Touro-Harlem Medical Library and got some hands on experience with the integrated library system.  I read selected chapters in the Medical Library Association’s Guide to Managing Health Care Libraries, which gave me a good orientation to the experience and began learning about Millennium, the integrated library system, that library uses.

I created two PowerPoint slide presentations-one on Using NCBI and one on using the Clinical Queries feature of PubMed. I also created a poster.  These were expected tasks that a medical librarian would perform.  I sat in on a session about using PubMed and a class on evidence -based medicine, both of which were useful.  I discussed aspects of medical library management with the director or the electronic resource librarian alsmot daily.

The experience was useful, informative and stimulating.  Many thanks to Dr. Shelly Warwick,director of the library, and Bill Lundmark, electronic resources librarian.
