O Library, O Library

Sung to the tune of "O Christmas Tree" by the Yale Ultrasounds at the Yale Medical Library holiday party:

Verse 1:
Oh library, Oh library
My information highway
Oh library, Oh library
I check my email each day
There's so much that you give to me
Like the occasional late fee
Oh library, Oh library
I love my personal librarian
(shout name of your personal librarian)*

Verse 2:
Oh library, Oh library
It's where I come to learn disease
Oh library, Oh library
My favorite place to catch some z's...
With comfy chairs among the stacks
I just wish I could bring in snacks
Oh library, Oh library I love my personal librarian
(shout another personal librarian's name)*

Verse 3:
Oh library, Oh library
You're so much more than Pub Med
Oh library, Oh library
You're named after some guy who's dead
Give cards so copies we can make
And EndNote classes we could take
Oh library, Oh library
We love our personal librarians*

* Every first-year med student at Yale gets an email in September from an extraordinarily friendly person known from then on as their "personal librarian." Apparently, these PL's are to be used for library-related queries; but since google takes care of most of my informational issues, and my personal librarian did say that I should contact him if I needed "anything at all", I've been wondering whether I might convince him to be my personal secretary instead. Or personal launderer. Or personal masseuse. Those are all things I could *really* use right now.
