• trends: need more hands on time, more space to write answers, fewer students "know it all"

the libraian is very happy to answer questions.

this was actually very heplful for me personally. It is very convienient to have this much information at my fingertips.

To better the presentation maybe it is best to allow computer interaction.

This exercise helped me understand how to find information at the weber library online a lot better. Thanks!

TIPS ON FINDING BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY WERE GREAT BUT THERE COULD BE MORE EMPHASIS ON FINDING SOLID RESEARCH WEBSITES

 I din''t know that this was avaliable. So I enjoyed every minute of this class lecture.

 i had already used the library sources, so I knew mostly what was going on beforehand. However, if I hadn't had previous knowledge, it would have been extremely helpful. It is definitely a worthwhile activi

The library system was very helpful for my research and will continue to be also. I will have no trouble finding the information I need.

 mr. Christensen was very helpful and knowledgable.

The instructer was very helpfull and he was effective at showing us to use the online library.

This was the fifth time I've had this presentation. I know that repetition is a law of learning but...

 It is useful, but the presentation at the first is a little confusing. I really didn't understand anything until I had to do the worksheet.

The library/Internet skills instruction was very helpful and useful. It helped me gain a better understanding of how to use search engines and different datebases. It will become very useful down the road.

 Just seemed like a waste of time.

 In my opinion, I think it would better serve us as students to have this orientation in English 1010. BUt whatever works. The presentation will help me in my research for my writing.

 I was glad to learn about Academic Search elite. It is cool that i can access that from my house.

 I have been through this introduction 5 times.

 We could probably save paper in the future by presenting the questions and worksheet online, along with electronic submission and review.

 no Comments

 The folks at the Reference Desk were very helpful. Thank you

 I thought that the introductory presentation was not very effective, but the step-by-step instructions were.

 The librarians seemed very upbeat and generous, which is ALWAYS a plus.

 The exercise was very useful i learned that the library had a lot of things online that i never knew they had. Thanks

 This was a great excerise. The only thing I would suggest would be to go into a little more detail on how to find out if your source is credible or not.

 I already knew how to do this stuff! Thanks though!

 I enjoyed learning, it was a very positive experience, and I feel a bit at ease on where to start.

 This exersize was good there could be more space for us to write our awnsers

 I very much liked the presentation i just with that it went a little more into depth.

 Thanks so much for the time you spent teaching us about the use of the library it was most helpful.

 This course was extremely helpful in my resaerch process

 This class was very helpful. It helped me navigate and learn how to use the different search engines. it also helped me learn how to better research a paper in the future.

 need some easier ways to go back to where you started or to the previous selection. The Back button would not always work. I like ebays way of doing it. You have a list of what you have gone through at the

 It was very useful and will help in and out side of school to find research and information

 I found it extremely hard to fit my answers on the lines provided.

 Thanks, I really liked learning that I have all this available to me even from my own home, over the internet.

 This was a great help. I learned more today than I did in all of high school and since I've been in college. It was nice to learn step by step how to go to articles and how to find them.

 Fun way to spend a class period thank you.

 I have never been in the library simply because I didn't know how to use it. I now plan on using this resource a lot!!!!

 I think that we should do this again, but in a more advanced search. It helped me to know how to use the library resources better. Thanks.

 I did not know about the "big blue book" that has research ideas and topics as well as reference material for those topics. That would be a very useful resource.

 I thought it would be boring... NOT

 I think that the class was very useful! I just wish that we could get a guide to using all of the library resources (not one that we have to hand in)!

 Everything worked as stated in the book.

 The instructor went much too fast and talked much too quiet to really hear her from the back of the room so I did not get that much out of the instruction.

 It really helped me understand the resources that are availible here.

 While not being a horrible experience, it was a bit frustrating, as the links presented in the exercise do not reflect the links on the library's website. Perhaps they have altered some of their layouts and/

 This was a great learning experience for me.. Athough, it did cost me 15 cents to print out the information. oh well.

 I have never used any of these library sources before. I am back at college after 15 years and found the entire demonstration and the internet access absolutely wonderful and very informative. I feel much m

 Your library is very organized and useful. I enjoy the late hours for homework and study.

 I really like my teacher and I believe that he does a great job.

 I thought the instructor did a wonderful job explaining and teaching the information. This help me to feel confortable with the library web site. Also I think the web site is usefull and set up well. I am

 Wow! The information highway is overwhelming with both good and bad info. Thanks for making it easier to work with.

 This was great. As an older student returning to school, this helped me not to be fearful of navigating in the computer and on the web. Thanks

 I really learn a lot, of how find out books of information that I need about. This Library class, was good. Because of what I had learn

 The hands-on experience was best. You can retain information and skills better if you practice them. Go Mr. Art!

 I think that the library website is very helpful in helping you find lots of information for a research paper.

 I now know where I can go to do all of my research. Thank you for your help.

 This was great, it was information I probably wouldn't have picked up on my own. Very worthwhile.

 I really enjoyed this presentation. The library seemed very daunting but now I feel confident that I can really USE the library

 I found everything to be very usefull. I wouldn't have thought to do half of what was suggested. I am very satisfied and happy with this exercise.

 The information was useful, but I learned most of it in highschool. Also, getting to the databases was a pain, it would be better if students could reach them without going through all of the other pages, es

 This was helpful. I think it should be a 2 class deal though. 1 class wasnt enough time for me personally. And it should have been taught the whole classtime.

 The worksheet itself was very confusing between instructions and objectives.

 The librarian that gave the presentaion was very nice and optmistic. She explained eveything very well and made things very clear and easy to undersatnd. Thanks for your time and effort

 The ecxercises were useful, however, I did not find it additionally hlepful to include a presentation that took an entire class period. Perhaps a shorter instruction time would be more effeceint.

 It was fun.

 Give more space on the paper to write titles and answers, all the stuff I wrote is crammed in.

 Thanks for taking time out of your day to help us with learning how to function in the Library. :)

 I feel that with a little bit of guidance, anyone should be able to search for and find anything. I like that the system is easy, and the staff are so willing to lend a helping hand. Thanks Weber State Libr

 It helped me get familiarized with the stewart library. I thought it was very effective.

 very easy to use

 When telling the students to choose a topic, tell them to choose one of an academic basis. Not all areas of interest and hobbies are found in the library or any of the databases. Jeeps and Offroading were o

 I learned a lot from this library introduction class. I only knew how to use google but now I am more able to find scholarly research and to narrow my topics because I know how to use these other search engi

 waist of time, it should of been a class you could sign up to come too, if you needed it

 This was useful, however, the computers were down so we could not go step by step with the instructor.

 I found this helpful and I can see that some things for research I will need some more help from the library staff. It will take me some more practice. thanks!!!

 It would have been better if instead of telling us about stuff then let us do the worksheet, but have us do the worksheet along with the presentation. We would have had more time to do it and understand it be

 Thanks. The librarian was patient and helpful. She made me feel that my questions and even my mistakes were good for the course.

 I don't think I got as much out of it by just watching the librarian go through the website as I would have if we could have interactively went through it with her. Having an assignment to follow through wit

 I totally beleive this exercise was very helpful. I would suggest that it would be great to have this exercise done in the begining of your college classes. I did learn a lot, and I thank you for taking the

 I took a lib. science class a couple of semesters ago and so it was a good review.

 The library on internet is very important for me. I like to serch information from Internet.

 i feel that a little more one on onetime with each student would be more effective.

 This was such a great way to understand how to use the libary from computer not at the school

 This classroom exercise was very useful. Now I know how to make it easier on myself when I do my research Thanks

 I learned a lot Thanks

 I didn't like the part where we had to look up something in the encyclopedia, through the internet. I feel that the encyclopedia doesn't work as well over the internet. I would have preferred to just look i

 This had limited usefulness because I had been exposed to all this before. TO those who don't know what they are doing, this is good information to have.

 The presentation was very informative and useful. Thank you

 I think the library session helped, I would have never used the library website to find so much information. I wouldn't have known it was there.

 I think the library system is great. Things are pretty self explanatory, so it isn't too confusing. I found it easy to find the stuff I needed.

 everything was great!

 I thought that the instructions on how to use the library were very accurate and easy to use. The library itself is very organized and helpful.

 The website worked better for me when I was up at Weber State, but when I would use my home computer, nothing seemed to work for me. I did learn more than I had previously learned though. Good Job!

 It was helpful for me, but I still feel like I don't know enough about all the different things the library has that could be helpful in my studies.

 I learned a lot and it was very effective. I did not use anything on the internet to find research through the library because i did not know how to use it but now i will

 Well I did know most things but I love repeating things because it only helps you to remember the things you were taught

 This whole setup will be useful in my further academic endeavores. It will help with papers, in the way that will be able to find information quickly and information that is credible and reliable.

 This is a very useful course to introduce the library to students. After completing this course I now know where to look for further information I might need or want to study.

 thanks for all your help

 I need practice, other than that, this exercise is very appreciated and helpful.

 I thought that taking a class to go over some of the library features was a very good idea. The information provided was useful, and probably something I wouldn't have taken the time to find out on my own.

 Great job, well done.

 I can always use any help I can recieve in writing papers for my classes.

 it had a lot of useful information! i just hope i remember it all!

 I thought that the presentation was well done. I enjoyed using the internet searches but the others were vague towards my subject. I am glad that i was able to learn about these systems of computer searchin

 I think that if you allow the students to use their computers in tandem with the teacher of the class that they will learn more. I understand that it may cause the computer to freeze up or slow down the syst

 The handout that we were given was jumbled and somewhat confusing aesthetically.

 The library Internet skills instruction to me was very useful because it helps you to access into the Web to find your information.

 It got me to use the system which I really hadn't been able, or made myself "get into" before. It was good for me I feel a lot more confident about it all.

 The people that work in the library are very usefull. Thanks.

 Good info.

 I think this orientation was a good idea. I came in last week and had to have a librarian help me search for references because I had no idea how the catalog search system worked. Now I do! Thanks.

 it was a good chance to learn more about the library and ways to find info much faster.

 I think this will really help me in the future when I have to do research papers and essays. Thanks.

 I have already taken the TBE test for this information so this excercise just took up more of my time that I could have used on something like studying what I don't know. This was just busy work.

 It was useful to get to know how to use the system better. Sometimes, I go to find something on the internet and I search site after site and never get anywhere. It is good to have learned more of other sit

 Had a great time, thanks.

 This session helped me understand how to obtain resource information quicker and easier.

 I really enjoyed this presentation. I wish more professors would do this. Thanks

 very informative class.

 I wish that this would have been provided at the beginning of my first semester as a Freshman. This would have been very helpful.

 I feel that is was very effective because i had no idea that we had such a thing. its awesome to find the sources you need at home and go to the library without being there all day.

 It's great to know more about the resources available to me a WSU! The presentation was wonderful, and I really appreciate the information provided.

 The teacher did an awesome job!

 this exercise was very beneficial, i will better understand things presented by the instructor thank you

 I thought that this excercise was very useful. It taught me many things that I did not know about the library and most importantly, about acessing the library resources from home.

 I am able to expand my research much better since the presentation.

 I thought the presentation was great and very usefull.

 The class was great. Thank you!

 The exercise was useful and it helped me by letting me know more about periodicals and websites to find information about my topic.

 WSU RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I thought this excercise helped a lot. It also had very clear directions to help us along our way.

 It was really good to know that there are librarians who actually care what we are doing and not just wanting to check me out a book! keep up the good work!

 How to use AND, NOT, OR was very helpful.

 The internet skills exercise seemed to be a lot of busy work. I'm glad I never have to do that again.

 I am taking English 2010 as an independent study course and completed this execise on-line from my home with no library classroom presentation and still found it very helpful and full of useful information.

 I'm taking the eng 2010 class by correspondence and the directions in the packet are not up to speed with the current stewart library on-line. It took a longer time to find the areas the directions were refe

 this was helpful and will hopefully allow me success in the class

 I didn't know about the Academic search elite or any of the other search databases until I was in this library/internet skills class. It was really useful and helped me do a lot more research.
