To help ensure that students are able to take full advantage of the services and materials that Drain-Jordan has to offer, the reference librarians now teach four to five classes a day in research methodology. She says students sometimes have limited research skills, and this class provides the instruction they need to be able to use the many tools at their disposal.
Different students have different skills.
In addition to the computers in the ETC, there are plans to extend the library s services to the Student Union. Sharma hopes to install 20 new terminals, each with access to the library s database in the Student Union by next year. Students will then have access to the library beyond the facilities normal hours of operation. Sharma also plans to extend the library s hours as soon as he is up to full staff again. Currently, the library is in need of four people.
