1. How did you become interested in medical librarianship?\u00a0<\/strong>Medical librarianship was actually pretty new to me until I started at the Wilson Dental Library. I had taken classes in the history of medicine and had experience with archives and special collections, so I have approached the field from that perspective. Lately, I have become interested in the maintenance, conservation, and presentation of the history of medicine and specifically, dentistry.<\/p>\n

2. What is your current position?\u00a0<\/strong>I am currently the Technical Services Library Assistant at USC’s Wilson Dental Library.<\/p>\n

3. What do you enjoy most about your current position?\u00a0<\/strong>I thoroughly enjoy the flexibility and jack-of-trades nature of my position. I handle new books processing, donations, and missing book searches, but also get to work with our patrons. I have also been fortunate enough to assist with rare book and archives projects and recently created a display centered on important works and artifacts in dentistry.<\/p>\n

4. What do you think is the most interesting or challenging issue in librarianship today?\u00a0<\/strong>I am interested in the future of libraries. As an MLIS student, I envision what my future career will look like and what libraries will be like. In class and at my current position, I have had many conversations about space for computers, shelving for print collections, and study space; these are all part of this larger conversation about our role and what services we provide to our patrons. I don\u2019t think this conversation is new nor is there a right answer; libraries are always evolving and adapting, but I do think this is an exciting and challenging time to get an MLIS.<\/p>\n

5. Please provide a link that made you think (an article, video, blog post, other webpage, etc. that you found to be interesting or thought-provoking):\u00a0<\/strong>My background is in American history, so I couldn\u2019t help but be drawn to this article about \u201cwar libraries\u201d from American Libraries Magazine earlier this year:\u00a0The Library War Service: ALA’s book campaigns during World War I<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
