Many students do not realize that they are the future employees and employers of the information industry. This is a reality I face each time I conduct a session for school age groups. Educating students about the different careers in the information industry is an effective means of attempting to lessen the digital divide. First of all, as a recent graduate from the Library and Information Science Program at Wayne State University, I wanted to encourage students to enroll in the program because it would provide a foundation of knowledge organization. I stressed the idea that the LIS profession provides the stimulus for learning every day.
Librarianship is very challenging and a wonderful journey.
The SEL is a research library and is designed to support the College of Engineering and the College of Nursing. Fast access to many current journals and databases is a very important factor in this age of information. The SEL's primary goal is to satisfy the information needs of our high-demand researchers. The SEL's web site was shown to students, stressing a variety of scientific databases and online journals. Science serials, especially those in physics and chemistry, have the highest average costs.
