At this workshop I learned about the online library, which the Librarian was VERY proud of. She showed us various useful tips for researching.
There was a feature that you can look up books from other CUNY campuses and request to bring them to Baruch. Also, I found out that you can hold a book for up to THREE weeks and renew it online. My High School only allowed two weeks. There are also many databases that you can look up.
The best feature I would say is the online book reading tool. Some of the books are electronic reading only and you could read them any time I believe. Of course there are some bad things about that since you can’t read on-the-go unless you print it out.
Although the workshop was very informative and useful, it was also very boring. 🙂
haha yea we all often do xD we tell each other and get it all done together. I would say most of the class should be done with their workshops. For our English class, we went to a room and were taught pretty much the same things again from this workshop lol
btw it seems like a lot of you guys went to the same workshops, did you guys see each other there? haha it is the library after all, but yea definitely use those things you learned!
