Now, we must sort through the abundance of information, much of it in digital format and online, to find the best answers to our questions. Some of your instructors will require you to do library research and in order to do that you will need to learn how to access online databases to find abstracts, statistics, full-text magazine and newspaper articles, and web sites. Perhaps your instructor will bring you to the library for a tour. If you are required to complete the self-paced, library orientation, please remember that the time it takes to finish is based on the degree of your computer literacy. Students have finished the workbook and worksheet in twenty minutes.
Most students require a little more than an hour.
However, more that a few students require as much as three hours. These are difficult tasks, and you are learning valuable information. You must know how to use computers to find information. You must even use computers now to find books in the library. Three hours is not unreasonable for acquiring such complex skills.
