Recruiting the Next Generation of Librarians Forum - UTHSC 
Thursday, May 17, 2007, 12:01 PM - Events
Students and educators from Memphis City Schools visited the University of Tennessee Health Science Center on March 30, 2007 to learn more about the CHILI project. As part of the event, two academic health sciences librarians presented overviews of their very different jobs (access services and web services). Ashley and Tangela, the Health Sciences Library's 2006 IMLS Summer Interns, also shared highlights of their summer experience.

Applications for the 2007 IMLS Summer Internship at the Health Sciences Library were distributed during the forum. As a result, five students have submitted applications for this summer's internship.

250 Health Careers- How do health information professionals remain visible?  
Monday, April 30, 2007, 4:42 PM
The top five suggestions:

5. Wear gear from the CHILI Cafepress Boutique

4. Find the organizations with lists of non-traditional health professions and infiltrate the top 13 list already established.

3. Lobby programs like House to feature an episode with Julie McGowan matching bedside EBM with Dr. Gregory House.

2. Use pizza bribery to get a class to watch the Join the Healthcare Team video on MLAnet.

1. Use tried and tested marketing techniques, like involvement in many medical center activities and events that increase the visibility of the health information staff.

If you live in the Stanford area, there is a Summer Residential Program open to low-income and ethnically disadvantaged high school sophomores and juniors who live in northern and central California. Here is the application information.

Her name is Janay Truitt, and she lives on the crime-rich and money-poor north side of St. Louis. She shares an apartment above a dry-cleaning store with two grandparents, two sisters, a brother and her mother, who leaves at 4:30 in the morning to drive a school bus. Her father lives elsewhere."

Janay has gifts and smarts and grit, and she would make a great health information professional....
