What was the most interesting thing that you've learned in the past 5 weeks of library instruction classes? What do you wish that we'd spend more time teaching?
I think the Google workshop was the most interesting thing. I thought Google was really basic, but it turned out that there was so much more that I didnt even know about, so it was really cool. I dont know, I think we spent a lot of time learning about different things in library class, there's nothing else that I would really want to spend more time on.

What was the most interesting thing about your Health Career Pre-Collegiate classes? Would you recommend this program to your friends?
I think just meeting a bunch of motivated kids and finding out about what they all want to do when they get older was the most interesting thing about pre-collegiate. I learned a lot in my classes, but I think it was just as important to learn about the people I was surrounded by. I would only recommend it to my friends if they were motivated and willing to be challenged, because otherwise they wouldnt enjoy it at all.

Do you know what you want to do when you grow up? What makes that profession/career/job attractive to you?
I definitely want to be a doctor. Its not so much the science aspect of things that is appealing to me, but the interaction with other people. I really want to help people, and being a doctor is an undeniably great way to do this. I'm thinking about being a clinical psychologist, because I think its just as important to heal people mentally as well as physically.

Do you think you'd ever want to work in a library? Why or why not?
I dont really know...I love to read a lot, so it would seem like a cool thing to do. But realistically, librarians are probably busy with other things and dont get much time to read, so I would be surrounded by great books that I dont even have time to read. It would be cool to see the variety of books that are out there, though.

Why do you think teachers (and librarians) want to see a variety of sources (i.e. books, journal articles, websites) in your paper's bibliography? Do you think that's fair?
I think teachers and librarians just want to make sure that your information is accurate and that you worked hard to find a variety of resources for your paper. I think this is pretty fair, but it can just be time consuming and it's hard to remember the exact format that the bibliography has to be in. But I think it's worth it to prove that your information is accurate.

What do you think of libraries? What would make you want to come to the library (or, what do you wish libraries did or have)?
I like libraries because they have a huge source of books. But I dont really like the fact that there's not a lot of privacy; it's kind of awkward and I like to read or study by myself. But the fact that they're quiet is cool, because it helps me stay focused. I think libraries pretty much have what they should have; there's nothing that I can really think of that would make me want to go to a library more.

What's the hardest thing about finding information for you?
The hardest thing about finding information is that I can never find exactly what I need at first. It takes a lot of searching around websites for me to find the right information, and that's really time consuming. I always find what I need, but sometimes it just takes a while and that's pretty frustrating.
