ARE YOUR STUDENTS FINDING IT? CONSIDER A MEETING
WITH A LIBRARIAN IN YOUR CLASSROOM OR OURS

As Thanksgiving approaches, student writing/research projects start entering the frenzy phase at times. If your students are having trouble understanding the difference between valid library information sources and wacko google websites, if they "can't find anything" in the way of sources for their argumentation essay about national health care or their speech about the foibles of Lindsay Lohan, if they just don't Get It when trying to find their way around the library (whether physical or virtual/electronic), help is here!

Librarians are available to meet with your classes to conduct mini-workshops (or other presentations faculty desire) that are often very useful for upcoming student writing assignments. The format of these sessions can vary according to your needs, often combining demonstrations of how to use print and electronic resources for specific assignments with hands-on exercises students can complete during the learning session (often a good extra-credit opportunity).

Contact your Librarian Liaison (see left column of The Text Messenger) for more information (advance notice is always a good idea when scheduling a librarian-conducted training workshop).
