Reflection:
I would not like to be a health sciences librarian because I have trouble navigating the internet. Even though I know how to work various computer programs and technical devices there is always something that stop me and cause a mistake. It also does not interest me as much as many other careers. This is why I would not like to be a Health Sciences Librarian.
