Day in the Life of a Library Assistant | Hospital Library 

I was the Medical Library Assistant at Community Hospital in Indianapolis Indiana for 30 years - I was in charge of the Interlibrary Loan department. I borrowed and loaned books and journal articles - most of it was either for research or for direct patient care and the articles had to be gotten by either fax or pdf email. I borrowed around 3 to 4 thousand articles per year and the ones that I borrowed were from all over the United States medical libraries and universities we were charged a fee for them so I had to keep track of a budget too. Thousands of times doctors would come in with a list of articles they needed in say 3 days and that list many times was 15, 16 articles. And if the articles could not be obtained locally from other medical or college libraries here in town than I had to get them from places like the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic or even London Lending Library in England. I never knew what was going to be needed at the beginning of the day but it was very tedious sometimes but I loved my job and really answered to no one and the doctors, nurses, and administrators were very grateful so it was a very rewarding job. I also obtained articles from our journal collection for other medical libraries in Indianapolis.

Awesome video! I’m trying to find a job that I’ll be able to handle just incase my parents die and I won’t have someone to depend on. Working at a library seems fine. 😀

Iv been invited for a library position fingers crossed.

This is interesting to know I did want to get a job working as a library assistant and just work at a library that's what I want to do for now unless something else interests me.

One of those cushy jobs that's hard to find such an easy life and planning your own tasks to feel busy and make time go faster 😂 Other jobs that are easy 1.Security guard at Ice rink 4 on 4 off 2.A school caretaker at a special needs school only 5 rooms 3.A dog walker 9am to 12pm Monday to Thursday

Are there times you have to work in their by yourself?

This was really interesting! I currently do the MLIS program. I worked in a medical archives center which was really different from the public library that I'm used to. Did you have an interest in the medical field before? :)
