Collaborating with other support units to ensure you and your students have what you need
Librarians rock!!
Using library technology to support learning
•I need to write a paper on Bill Reid's The Raven and The First Men, but I do not know where to find good articles on art history topics.
•How do I use Business Source Complete database? Can you help me with my search?
•How do I cite class notes in APA style?
•What is the difference between "scholarly" and "peer-reviewed" journal articles?
•I am getting too many results when I use the library catalogue - can you help?
Who else can help?
Part Three:

Scholarly inquiry
The syllabus is a hypothesis that if I teach the class this way, if I teach this material in this order, and if students do these things, then I hypothesize that something will happen. Students will learn, they’ll grow, they’ll benefit – Randy Bass, Vice Provost Education at Georgetown University
