I was very excited and I feel that I helped them out with all of their questions and needs. I was very surprised at how these students reacted when they learned about the many tools and options the library offers to students in need of help with research. I hope that more students will be coming in the next few weeks and that the program really takes off!! tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2009:/tianx038/tonytian//10900.200399 2009-10-28T19:09:40Z 2009-10-28T19:15:37Z

I attended the latest training session on 10/23/2009 about different learning styles. I was very interested to learn that people are strong in different styles of learning and there are basically 4 types of learning. The 4 types are auditory,...

That is probably because no one knows we exist yet and hopefully by the start of next week, we will have gone around to enough classes to see at least a start in the number of people coming. Anyways, the first rovering session I was a part of was pretty successful. It seemed that most people understood what they were taught as evidenced by the high scores on the quizzes I saw on some computers. Training has also been going well and we are all well on our way to start our sessions. tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2009:/tianx038/tonytian//10900.198093 2009-10-16T20:46:11Z 2009-10-16T20:48:22Z

So, today was my first day on the job because Wed. didn't work out. Anyways, it was pretty quiet today, nobody came in and I sat around for a long time. I hope that after we get the word out,...

I think we will be well prepared to help out students when we are allowed to work on our own. Unravels has been drilled into our heads and we are getting the word out about our program and we hope when we start our shifts in the library, we will get good business from students who need help!! tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2009:/tianx038/tonytian//10900.195359 2009-10-04T02:14:10Z 2009-10-04T03:24:35Z

There are a lot of great tools that you can use for FREE!! to work with other people on some project or paper.... I suggest you ask a librarian for a list of these great resources. tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2009:/tianx038/tonytian//10900.193355 2009-09-26T18:39:40Z 2009-09-26T18:42:41Z

If you are taking any course that requires any type of research, I highly encourage you to take Unravels. It is a great seminar which helps to teach you how to find articles. Now I know finding articles for research...
