LI827: Crafting a Preservation Policy for a Medical Library
In my coursework for LI827, we studied the acute nature of preservation in libraries and as I applied these principles to a specific situation, my own medical library where I currently work, I was able to take the concept of the initial drafting of a preservation policy and plot its development including the selection of criteria, methods of preservation, and the environment considerations. The result of this paper and of me taking this course was that the library where I work drafted and developed a preservation policy largely based on this paper.
LI810: Students Preferences of Carrels vs. Tables in a Medical Library
In LI810, the focus was on research methods and I chose to work on a project that entailed defining the preferences of which medical students preferred carrels or tables to study on. I conducted this research and presented it to our Library Director as we are in the process of building a new library and are looking at furniture needs of our students. The study helped me to realize what research entails and how decisions for libraries should be based on research methods.
