There was a time when book-worms and researchers consumed print media only. Today, they consume print media, as well as abundant electronic sources online. Librarians now teach class sessions for faculty who want their students to approach projects strategically. Students learn methods of research, navigation of databases and how to conduct Internet searches. Barnes says, “The great thing is that it’s all one library and if there’s a book you want, you can get it brought from one library to another in about one or two days and sometimes the same day.” “The primary services the library offers are a place to study, meet and relax.” He says help with research questions can be scheduled on a one-to-one basis. Appointments with librarians can also be made for specialized research sessions.
