MLK Library Tour
When we went on our tour to the library the librarian Paul Kauppila was giving us the tour and how the library works. I learned many new things when he taught us how to use the library and what the library would have for us. The library was really nice when I first walked in, it was the nicest library I ever seen. He told us about the quiet floors where people can study and how each department has there own librarian. You can even reserve a study room to have group studies. All you need was a library card and your tower card. He told us how to use the search engines and how to narrow down something you search from 4,000 to 71. The search engine would be really useful because you can search books and if they don't have it then it will show other libraries that would have it and transfer them here or it could tell when the book is due so you can come in a get it. He also showed a great website which was could Refworks. Refworks would make your bibliography for you and all your resources in any format you would like. He also showed us Academic Search Premier which he said was really common and most useful when you are looking for resources after that we all went down to get library cards and it was a great adventure and tour. I learned a lot about our library.
