This article is about Univerisities across the country using classes or seminars to infrom students how to find better information on the internet. This article basically sums up LIB103 here at UNCW. It also brings in public academia opinion of how this should not be treated as new information and that teaching students how to research is part of college. Foster also discusses the publishing of how to teach students to research and the guides that are available for librarians and professors.
This article is very familiar to me. Because of my major, and this being my third college, I have been through many of these classes. The first few times when I was just starting college got tossed to the side and I never paid them any attention. The further a long I got and the more I needed scholarly resources in an instant without waiting for Interlibrary Exchange the more I started using the databases available to students. Including LIB103, this is the sixth or seventh class in the last four years that I have been in that shows students how to research more efficiently. Honestly, most of them are 30-50min long and are nearly identical. The guides Foster discusses in Information Navigation seem to be widely used. These classes are very effective if students choose to pay attention and benefit from the infromation provided.
