This summer the University of Tennessee Health Science Center library was delighted to host two of Memphis' best and brightest area students as summer interns. Treshain Norfleet, a senior this year, and Xin Huang, a junior, were selected by a panel of librarians to be the 2008 CHILI interns. Together, they visited the medical libraries of the VA, St. Jude, and Baptist hospitals, hosted three lunch forums with area medical librarians, created podcasts and other content for the library, and much more.
They shared their thoughts about the internship experience through their daily journals:
"Thank you for showing me 'the ropes' of being a medical librarian." - Treshain Norfleet
"When I first applied, I thought this internship would be just shadowing around staff all day and that was it, but this is a true learning experience... it's been an eye opening experience." - Xin Huang

The second CHILI intern at Yale for summer 2008 was Miguel Baez, who conducted his internship between August 4th and August 12th. Unlike Ornella, the intern preceding Miguel that did her internship in the afternoon, Miguel took time off from his summer job to do his internship starting in the morning, using fewer days to complete the 30-hour internship. Miguel loves to write, and he enjoyed the exposure to the history of medicine in our archives and historical library Miguel his third dayday RSS lesson: "I found this to be very interesting because now I have a way to connect myself to the news feeds I find most interesting." Pictured with Miguel is one of the three founders of the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library, John Fulton MD.[ 3 comments ] ( 43 views ) | permalink
Ornella Bloomfield conducted her CHILI Internship at the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library from July 14-31st. Please look at the CHILI@Yale Blog for some of Ornella's impressions. For instance, Ornella posted this comment after interviewing our Instructional Design Librarian: "His advice to anyone thinking about this career is to pay attention to technology that is fast growing and be sensitive about what people do and how you can positively impact them."[ 9 comments ] ( 60 views ) | permalink
The University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Library welcomed two CHILI Interns on July 14th to learn about health librarianship, libraries, and the health professionals and researchers who love us! Steven Dawson, a senior at Hinkley High School in Aurora, CO and Besirat Gebreyesus, a senior at George Washinging High School in Denver, CO have been interviewing various librarians and library paraprofessionals, writing short interview articles, and blogging about their experiences. They have also been conducting research in preparation for a library technology project-- what is podcasting and how are podcasts created ? Hopefully, we'll have some of their completed podcasts to share soon! Come visit their blogs and the HSL Chili wiki!
