thanks for your willingness to helpl us freshmen

x    

I feel this library instruction is difficult to use, because I can't understand English very well. But if I can get it how to use it, it become very useful for me.

  x  

I was always tepted to play solitare

x    

Thank you for taking time to tell me about the services available. I didn't even know where the library was until today and now I know hot to operate in it.

x    

This was great! Thanks!

x    

I know how to search and use the reference help on the library internet. I can feel comfortable about using the library web and its resources.

  x  

Well this module would have been much more effective had the internet been up and running!

  x  

Need to go into a little more detail about the procedures and let the students run through the activities to get a feel for the resources that are avaliable.

x    

i love libraries

x    

i think that this helped alot because i wouldnt know how to do it if i didnt attend this class.

  x  

wnt too fast

    x

I think this time I learn a lot of stuffs in library search, I hope next time I also have the changes can to learn more stuffs.Thanks

x    

I thought this exersise was helpful and informative. THANKS!!

x    

This helped to clarify the sources available for use. Thanks

  x  

I already know how to work a Comp. I don't need to be taught like I'm a child, But I know others do so she should do a quik explanation let people go and help those who then need it.

    x

I think it is a great idea to get FYE students informed on what the library has to offer. Maybe you could give a little tour of the library or something, so they become more familiar with it an know where to find the resources they need. When the site is up and running, it is very helpful.

    x

I thought it was good that a worksheet was passed out so we could see if we really did understand what to do. Perhaps you could go into a little more depth on what services are available at the library and how to axcess the great variety of programs on the computer.

x    

This was very useful. I had no idea there was so much available. I am greatful that it is so easy to use also.

x    

The WSU library is a great library. I have always felt comfertable comming to this place. The people have always been kind and helpful to me. Thankyou and keep up the good work.

x    

I can honestly say that this session helped me with things that I otherwise would have known nothing about.

x    

It was fun!

    x

I thought that teacher was good and that she explained things well. I thought she did go a little fast at times but other than that it was great.

x    

This was a great way to get familiar with the Library and it's facilties.

x    

I think this is a great class to take for freshman exspecially, but everyone should take this class. It gave me a better understanding the libray by using the internet.

x    

This was a great way to get familiar with the Library and it's facilties.

    x

I felt it was a little fast with not enough explanation. It is a good exercise, however, I think it needs a little more explanation on how to apply the services, and more time explaining how to use. Over all I appreciate the exercise.

x    

This is a wonderful facility. I will probably be here quite a bit.

    x

The instructions given were too fast, many of the students felt lost and rushed the entire time.I did learn some new things though, that I din't know exisited. Thanks.

x    

This is a good thing to have around because it gets you familar with the things that are on campus that most people don't let you know about.

x    

I did not know that I could acess so much of the Library from my home computer. I also like the fact that we were given the eresever lst option to encourage our proffecers to use the libary to thier fullest advantage .

  x  

What is the literacy competency requirement? Our inctrusctor did not even touch base at all on it and the wording in the web page is quite wordy and less then helpful. I would have hte library instructor speak more about it, if it that is important.

x    

I am amazed and at ease that there is so much available to me. The online services are really helpful to notrads with children at home. Thanks!

x    

I did not know that I could acess so much of the Library from my home computer. I also like the fact that we were given the e-resever list option to encourage our proffecers to use the libary to thier fullest advantage .

    x

This was great but needed to have longer to go over information,maybe two sessions. Thank You

x    

Thankyou, Very Helpfull

x    

thank you, I feel that this is very helpful.

x    

Thankyou for this. I realize how much I can gain after this session.

x    

thank you for taking the time to help us learn more about the library and how to get help through the computer. i feel alittle more comfortable with the system, now.

x    

I had a wonderful time here. I have learned many things, about useing the library's web page. I especially appreciated the wonderful help L provided.

x    

Dr. F was my teacher so I used his name as the instructer because I can't remember the name of the lab instructer. If the info. is useful then I was in room 138 at 9:00 a.m. on Wed. Sep. 17. Now if you need the instructor's name you can track it down. Thank You.

x    

this was very useful to me because i don't know much about what goes on around weber state and what it has. Thanks a lot!!

    x

I wish I knew more about what is required.

x    

Thanks for the memorys.

x    

The exercise was well put together and clear. It helped to coersively get me to use some of the websites."

    x

I found the information very helpful. She went through a lot of information very quickly, so I am sure I didnot pick it all up. I suppose with practice it will become more familiar.

    x

With a little more time, I would be able to understand more fully all of the resources available in the Library!!! It Was Very informative! Thank you very much for your time!

x    

Thankyou for your help. Will be seeing you often.

x    

good job

    x

I enjoyed this session. The only thing I would suggest would be to give us more time to gain a more in depth understanding of this system.

x    

This was a great idea!!!!

x    

The lady was just so nice!

x    

I feel very confident that I will be able to find through the library services all the resources I need to find in the futer. Also i have a better understanding of how the Weber State Library can help me in my university career thanks."

  x  

Need more time to review.

x    

I never knew anything about the library or how to research anything on the computers but now I have a beter understanding.

x    

I feel that I can now find information more readily and easily because of this course. thank you.

x    

Academic search elite iss very good because lead to what you are looking immediately."

x    

I feel comfortable now, because i now know how and where to go whenever i need any kind of help or information."

    x

The library instructor kind of went a little too fast. She should have taken more time to explain things in detail. For example, the Literacy Competency requirement. All she did was tell us to pick up a paper if we wanted. I know the academic advisors are supposed to inform us about all of that, but if the library instructor brang up the subject, she should have explained a little more about it. However for the total overall effect, I did feel this to be extremely helpful, I would just suggest going slower. It doesn't matter if the students get the worksheet done in class. That's what college is about-homework.

x    

I was sick the day our class took the tour, so I wasn't able to go through all the services, but when I approach the Circulation and Reference desks they are always very friendly and go out of their way to help me find what I need or teaching me how to find the information I need. Especially F and N. This exercise help us getting to know and learning how to use the different sources and information available to us. "

x    

Thanks for last friday's library sessions. It was awesome!

x    

WSU and my teacher J Rocks.

x    

WOW!! This computers are fast and so is the internet!!! Boy I'll tell you what, I go home and it takes forever for a page to load. You know what I do while I'm waiting for a page to load? I have some ice cream and read a book and sometimes I'll even take a shower. But here, these computers are fast, I wish mine were fast. THANKS

x    

Very helpful now that I know how to use it !!

    x

I think this was pretty helpful in getting us introduced to what the library has to offer. I am still kind of confused on the computer credit, but I'm sure we will go over it.

    x

Its got to be slowed down. To much information to fast. I can follow the paper but doing it on my own would be another question."

x    

I felt that this was a good excercise and it helped me a lot with learning all the stuff for the computers.

  x  

I believe you should have went into how to make a proxy from your home computer for various home uses.

x    

I think that having students look for the information and actually use the library website is very helpful in getting students aquainted with the website.

x    

Was done very well...Thank You.

x    

Before this little "get to know the library" deal I was planning on doing my best to avoid the library. I didn't now how the place worked and it was scary. Now I think I will use it. Thanks for everything.

x    

Knowing how to find articles will be really helpful in research papers. The only thing I had trouble with was my barcode but I called the front desk and everything was cleared up. All in all I thought this exercise was useful.

x    

It was very helpful.

x    

I feel as a student at WSU,that this exercise was really effective for my first year here. It should help me out in the long run. Well, i hope it does.

    x

It was hard to find certain points of the exercise because they were located within files and searching took a lot of time. An example of this was trying to find where to order another book from another library. It wasn't stated that it is the interlibrary loan. Maybe for further reference this could be stated. Overall though this exercise has given me an abundance of knowledge not only about the library but the services on-line."

  x  

It is more effective for me to search and explore on my own, that to have a worksheet to fill out and hand in. Although I may have never done it other wise."

x    

I really liked getting the map of the library. I feel more comfortable looking at a map at home rather than on the wall... and it was something that I truely appreciated...Thanks!!!

x    

I feel that taking time out of class to learn about our library will be benifical to all the students at weber state university! I appreciate it!!!"

x    

Thank you K for the information.

x    

It was informative, but kept to a short time, which was good.

    x

What up y'all!

  x  

you have to be very computer literite

x    

K did a great job helping the student understand more about the library services"

x    

Im impresed and excited to know all about how to akcess everything.

    x

I think it would help if you gave a walk around tour of the Library.

x    

It was a useful and helpful sesion I recomend you to keep telling people about it.

  x  

I would have preferred if he would have just let us go, then take questions.

x    

I learned a lot on how to use the library and it's resources. It will really help me out a lot!

x    

I have a research paper due in Human Development in a few weeks, now, thanks to this course my search for information on my topic is going to be so much easier. This was a very usefull course. Thanks

x    

I have never had usage of a computer until starting school this year. I am fascinated by the power and efficiency. My fear is that I don't have enough time to learn it. I am planning on taking a computer learning class next semester. We just bought a computer last weekend, however, my husband "set it up" and it is not working right now. I cannot connect with the internet or send e-mail. Somebody is coming to help us with that problem. I apologize for my lateness in e-mailing to you, I feel totally inept with the process. It will improve if I can get my husband to stop ""fixing"" our computer. Thank you for setting up this class. I see a light at the end of the tunnel I just hope it is not a train.

x    

It is really good to go through and find all of the library resorces. I didn't know it was so easy and learning how to pull up an article will be a great resource for any and all of my classes. Thanks for your instuction. It is really going to help out this first timer. Sincerely yours Single mother of three returning back to school after 10 years."
