| x | very very usefull in finding information | ||
| x | I enjoyed the information | ||
| x | I feel that this was an excellent excercise, and that it really helps computer illiterate people like myself. I have a hard time doing research. | ||
| x | I learned a lot about accessing information here in the Weber State Library. Thanks. | ||
| x | good job Fran! | ||
| x | I think it was really fun, and I'm glad that I now know how to use the library, thanks! | ||
| x | this was awesome i can now make better use of my time when searching for info. | ||
| x | t helped to understand the things that we have here at Weber. It also opens up a oppertunity to use this not just for my english class, but for my other classes | ||
| x | el this was very helpful because I have been out of school for years and had no idea how to use these resources. | ||
| x | COMING TO THE LIBRARY IS ALWAYS A USEFUL EXERCISE FOR ME. IT ENABLES ME TO LEARN MORE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND TO LEARN OTHER HELPFUL LIBRARY EXERCISES. THANK YOU. | ||
| x | thought it was an informative class and easy to fallow | ||
| x | I had fun. | ||
| x | it was very informative, thank you. | ||
| x | great session although the computers are hard to see with the glare of the lights, perhaps turning them off would help. | ||
| x | This is a good introduction on how to use the Library Catalog and stuff. It really helps you how to learn the system | ||
| x | You always get to learn about the library in high school, but I had yet had the opportunity to learn about the library while in college. I have been here 1 1/2 years and have used the library once. mainly because I had no idea how to go about it. Now that I know more of how to get around, I am sure I will frequent the WSU library at least 2-3 times a month. | ||
| x | this exercise was easier for the people who are very familiar with a computer and are able to jump from one computer task to the next. However it was alot harder for me because I have never really used a computer before. | ||
| x | THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL ESPECIALY TO STUDENTS WHO HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIND BOOKS OR WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN TO LOOK. AT LEAST NOW I KNOW I CAN LOOK THEM UP ON THE COMPUTER TO SEE IF THIS LIBRARY HAS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. | ||
| x | Great information | ||
| x | This presentation gave me the impression that my instructor cares about my performance in this class. This session was helpful | ||
| x | Everything was very good. I still get frusterated when I get into an encyclopedia or database and I can't use information there because I am not subscribed to their database. That is the only complaint that I have. You all are life savers! Thank you! | ||
| x | The instruction given on Library/Internet skills was very helpful! I knew that the reference computers were available, but did not fully know how to use the program. This is a great way to find information for research papers! Going through the worksheet helped familiarize me with the program. The reference desk and computers are the way to go! Thanks!! | ||
| x | I usually fall asleep through just about any presentation there is. This one was different, though. Regardless of me walking in late, I was still able to get the information that I needed to do the exercise, and it was short. Short but informative, the presenter also stayed around to make sure there were no questions that he might answer before he left. | ||
| x | thANK YOU | ||
| x | I thought the class was helpful, but I didn't have much time to do the worksheet. | ||
| x | This assignment help me to understand how to locate properly using the library and the website information that I need to complete my research project. | ||
| x | I would like the librarians to help the students out a little bit nicer. | ||
| x | I really enjoyed the presentation and it was very helpful to me. | ||
| x | I did not have time to finish this during the scheduled session. When I tried to access the enclyopedias from off-site, I was denied access. | ||
| x | There was not enough time for the instructer to convey all the information to the students. I feel as if the instructor threw a lot of information at me and I had no time to process it in my mind.If we could have come to the libary for two class periods then I believe the information would have been better received and processed. | ||
| x | Having been out of college for about 20 years this was a very helpful exercise in learning how to use the web and the new technology. Thank you | ||
| x | I think the speaker we had, explained things very well and was very helpful towards all of us. | ||
| x | I learned about how useful the data base really is. Thanks. | ||
| x | The library instructor was fine, I think that it would be incredibly more effective to allow for some actual research time in the library as opposed to just instructional time. | ||
| x | I feel a lot comfortable using the internet now than I ever before. Thank you. | ||
| x | I thought that a little more help could be used on helping us to recognise which resources were good and not so good | ||
| x | The only thing that is hard or tricky is the ones who use the library off campus. Getting into encyclopedias and even the article databases took a lot of time and was hard to set up, there needs to be a better way for kids who can not get up to the campus all the time to access information. | ||
| x | I am extremly greatful for the opportunity that you have given me to learn how to use library resources. It is and willl continually grow to be an important asset to my time spent here at WSU. | ||
| x | the instructor was very nice and willing to help one on one which helped as much as the presentation...thanks | ||
| x | When I took the rest of the worksheet home to finish I couldn't make the encyclopedia work it kept asking for a password and username but the one hte librarian gave me did not work. | ||
| x | No Comments | ||
| x | it was good, however instead of concentrating on what I was to learn, I raced through it so that I wouldn't have to do it on my own time(which I don't have) and I would be able to make it to my next class on time. | ||
| x | I think that this will really help me when I go to do my research report in a couple of months. I now know that I don't have to go to just the county library but I can use the Weber library and probably get better success. | ||
| x | Library search is new to me. After this exercise, I feel like I could fumble around and locate the information I'm searching for. Thanks!! | ||
| x | I enjoyed this. I have been using computers since 1978, but did not know how to use Weber's Library resources. This was a great help to me. | ||
| x | The site is slow and not useful at times I have found | ||
| x | All the librarians were so helpful and calm. It's nice to go into a place and know positive and effective help is there no matter what time it is. | ||
| x | Although the library presentation was probably nessessary for some students, I have been around computers, the internet and even the old card catologs for years. So for me the experence was a waste of time. | ||
| x | I found this exercise very useful and informative.It's good to know various ways to do research other than just the internet. Thanks | ||
| x | The main reason it was effective was that I didn't know that this type of research even excisted here. I think the instructor should have allowed more time to work on it ourselves. We can follow directions; we're not stupid. | ||
| x | I think the session was a little boring and could use some excitement. | ||
| x | The class helped me to understand things a little better and now I now where to access the information from. | ||
| x | It was very good. I had no idea before, now I know what and how to get materials from the library. | ||
| x | I thought this assignment was particularly effective and helped familiarize me with the library and its website and databases. I can now use more of the resources that are available to me. THANK YOU!! | ||
| x | I think there are many other ways to get information. Using just the Weber State pages isnt enough for all the information you might need so it might be better to go around on the internet and find the things that are left out by the Weber State Pages. But at least now I know where the Weber State Library is:) | ||
| x | I thought that the activity allowed hands-on training that will help you remember that there are other resources out there for you to use for researching needs. | ||
| x | The Library website will help save me a lot of time, I didn't even know it existed! Bravo! | ||
| x | Doing this exercise really didn't help me. The instructions sometimes didn't make sense when it said to click on something and it wouldn't even be there. So overall, I didn't find that doing this helped me. | ||
| x | The worksheets helped me see where to go and that was very helpful! | ||
| x | The course seemed directed towards people who had a very limited knowledge of internet usage. I gained a little familiarity with the WSU library system, but felt that some of us were bored because the instruction was directed towards only those with little internet experience. I kinda wanted to rush the basics and maybe learn a few techniques that could improve my researching skills. | ||
| x | This was a very useful exercise, I thought it took a little long but overal it taught me what i needed to know | ||
| x | This was a good exercise to do, because what I learned will help me in all of classes doing reports and finding information. | ||
| x | I appreciate the kind instructor who took time out to help us better understand the library and internet systems. I was blown away when I walked into the library on campus, but now I have a much better understanding on how things are set up. I also have something to help me now if I ever need help on the internet. Thank you very much!!! | ||
| x | The work was just a little time consumong with a busy life. but knowing this information will save me time and stress. thank you for all of your halp. Especially to those at the davis campus library | ||
| x | I felt I would have gained so much more if the evercise was explained a little slower and the important parts of the paper ( example were to go to find the next assignment) were clearly displayed on the pages so you dont have to search for important info. | ||
| x | I liked that someone personally came from the library and guided through a basic formats of how to find research effectly | ||
| x | It was great | ||
| x | I've used Web sites a lot to find information. This exercise has helped to broaden my understanding to obtaining further information I never knew existed. This newly learned information will be of great benefit for this class and further classes. I hope to help others with my newly learned information. Thank you for this exercise! | ||
| x | all of the different sources that help to narrow your search on the internet was most helpful | ||
| x | This little sub-course is great! | ||
| x | very good keep it up the library is impressive not what I expected stay the man or woman | ||
| x | I would have liked more time to get familiar with this resource. I don?t feel I know as much as I should about this resource. I do feel this important for me to learn and know very well. It?s too bad more time wasn?t available. | ||
| x | I think they did a great job. But the time limit was short. Maybe if we could have another session it would help me understand more of it. | ||
| x | thank u for helping us to use the database | ||
| x | i was very useful. thank you. | ||
| x | This gave me a heads up on research for my topic. I realized my first choice didn't have the detailed information I was looking gor so I changed topics. | ||
| x | I feel that I have learned more ways to find information that I need. | ||
| x | I'm sure this is going to help me out alot in any future research. Thanks. | ||
| x | The session was very informative. It taught how to use the computers in the library which was very helpful. I did not know how to use the computers and now that I do the research shouldn't be as tough as expected. This is a very good program and tool for students to use. And the hours the library is open is great to allow students more time to use the computers and work on papers. | ||
| x | I think this was a great activity. I didn't realize how much info was out there. Thanks! | ||
| x | Thankyou for going through this exercise, it helped to realize the resources available to me. | ||
| x | I have found the Weber State Stewart library to be very useful to me. It is especially helpful that I can activate the library right from my very own computer at home. Thanks! | ||
| x | It went by me so fast, that I'm not sure I caught it all. However, I do feel that I'm aware of what's available. Perhaps I just need a little more practice. | ||
| x | I liked the session because it taught me more about the library and the databases. I think that this session will be highly effective in my future research. | ||
| x | Would have preferred more ideas and lecture on how to use the library. The lecturer fell short of my expectations. | ||
| x | Library/Internet skills was excellent. I learned a lot. | ||
| x | This class was very informative and will help in the future when I write papers for school. Thanks! | ||
| x | nice to know that this is avalible to me | ||
| x | This little exercise day helped me tremndously now and hopefully in the future | ||
| x | This exercise is about as effective as jumping around on your own. The only difference is I would find what I was looking for if I was using my own way. | ||
| x | This was a good idea becaus I have never been here before. I hope that I can remember how to use this and I know that it will take time for me to know how to use it. The instrutor that was here was very helpful. I was confused on how to use it but I know that I can come and get help if needs be. | ||
| x | I would have liked to have more time in the library class to ask more questions and not be so rushed. We only spent an hour in class. This class did help me to understand the library resources much better and give me different areas to find research. | ||
| x | A couple of the questions I couln't get in to. It wouldn't take my password | ||
| x | At the time I did this study, the Library Catalog was down and apparently had been for several hours. That made it somewhat difficult to complete this exercise and in fact I was unable to do so. I do however feel that this exercise is useful and that it will help me in future courses. This is something that everyone should be required to do at an early point in their academic career. | ||
| x | At the time of this exercise, the WSU Library Catalog was down and apparently had been for several hours. This made it difficult to do this whole assignment effectively. Other than that I appreciate the opportunity to do this exercise. I was amazed at how easy everything was to access once I got into it. After doing this exercise I only wished that I had done it sooner, but i feel that it will be extremely helpful to me in other courses that I will take in the future. Everyone should have to do this exercise in the very early stages of their academic career. | ||
| x | Your library catalog site was down, which prohibited me from finishing my assignment. | ||
| x | The information I was looking for was easily accesses and made simpler with helpful hints that the library provides, I found the assignment to take little time besides when the databases crash. Thank you. | ||
| x | I FEEL THAT THIS WAS USEFUL FOR THE STUDENTS THAT ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE LIBRARY. I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE USEFULL IN MY ENGLISH 1010 CLASS THAN IN MY 2010. | ||
| x | The people that were willing to help me were very nice and helpful.This is a very easy way to find information. It saves you a lot of time and stress. | ||
| x | I thought it was great that my professor took the time to take us to the library so we are more aware of the resources that are available to students for research. I don't know if I would have taken the time myself to do it. Thank you. | ||
| x | I think that it was usefull, but it kind of was busy work. I would have rather done it when I really needed to research a topic and not to it for nothing. | ||
| x | Librarians were very nice and helpful. Thank you. | ||
| x | I will be able to use this programs in a lot of my classes now. I found the information fairly easy to find. And there is a lot of information! | ||
| x | It was a good way to help me find a research topic. | ||
| x | good stuff man | ||
| x | Since the University experienced a virus last Tuesday, 9/18/2001 I have found it harder to do some of the research using the paths described in the handout..some of the links mentioned do not work very well like question 11 using the Reference Resources and going into an Encyclopedia.. Encyclopedia of Life Sciences did not work at all and even the route describer for Encyclopedia Britannica was somewhat difficult. I had to have a librarian come over and help me because I couldn't get any "hits" i hope the virus is soon or somehow cleaned up. | ||
| x | People at the reference & info services were very helpull. Thanks. Because of a virus in the system, I was not able to understand the instructions. | ||
| x | I was already familiar with the library but unfamiliar with the article databases this was informative for me. | ||
| x | This was a good exercise to teach students how to use the library system, but I had a hard time understanding many of the directions in the Library Skills exercise. It would help if the directions were a little more clear so that we will know exactly what our teacher is looking for and what information we're supposed to have on our worksheets. Thanks!!! | ||
| x | I learned alot from this assignment. | ||
| x | I didn't know that I can find so many magzines in the library....cool.... | ||
| x | i was already familiar with how to look things up online. this was a very remedial worksheet. (although the websight was having problems so that was troublesome) |
