Library Day Testimonials

What former Special Lecturers had to say:

"It's not easy to work and go to school at the same time, but being a Special Lecturer for User Education Services is a good move for anyone who is looking to combine work and school. The job is flexible, and the experience may give you an edge when it comes time to look for a full time job." Roshin Mathew, 2008-2009

"Being a Special Lecturer with User Education Services not only enriched my knowledge of the library's research collections, it also allowed me to share that new found knowledge with students and faculty." Agnes Bannigan, 2008-2009

"I enjoyed the dynamic environment I experienced while serving as a Special Lecturer. Every class presented a new challenge and I experienced deep satisfaction when I was able to help a student find a germane journal article or better define her research question. Nothing compares with the learning that comes through experience while employed as a Special Lecturer.” Kaara Hervold, 2007-2008

“The Special Lecturer position allowed the opportunity to truly learn about instruction in an academic library. This is an amazing professional development opportunity for any student looking to learn about library instruction.” April Duncan, 2007-2008

What ENGL 101 students had to say:

"[I learned about] the different research sites that are available to us, as well as tips to make research easier."

" I found [Library Day] really useful because I learned how to do database searches. I have had to do research for other classes and haven't really known how to use them until now."
