Rather than depend on Wikipedia or Google, the library holds all the resource books to bring out the best of your topic.

Last fall, approximately 2,850 students, with the help of librarians like Lorraine Gersitz, received a library overview.

Gersitz, the coordinator of the program, boasts that ‘we offer better resources for your research paper as well as workshops.’

The one hour orientation will help you to be able to easily go to the library and know exactly where to find that research book you have been looking for.

If it’s not a research book you need, you will at least know how to find a book using the online book catalog.

In this orientation they will also help you find dependable internet resources, teach you research strategies and techniques, and help you with citation formats.

If you have a ‘smart class’ with internet access, even better.

A presenter can go in and give your class a customized tutorial on the essentials you need to know to get things done efficiently at the school library.
