*Hesburgh Libraries 101
*What is Research?*Why do we do it?
* When do we do it?
*What are some examples of research in day – to- day life?
*Why do engineers need to know how to do research?
*The Library
What we do…*acquire and organize information resources (like books,
journals, and electronic databases);
*assist faculty, staff, and graduate/ undergraduate students in identifying and using the resources;
*and strive to preserve resources for future users as a record of collective knowledge
*Teach, train, and help researchers, professors, administrators, and students do their jobs.
*Solving Problems
Information Literacy n. the ability to identify, locate, analyze, synthesize, andpresent information to solve a specificproblem.
