Academic Enrichment

This workshop was both complicated and useful.  The database survival workshop was the steps and guides to learning how to use baruch’s library’s database.  Their database consisted of finding everything from a news article to books on many different topics.  The researcher went through search, advanced search and how to dumb down the process of searching for research articles.  I learned that scholar articles are a good resource for research papers because they are checked by many experts on differnt topics.  Also Baruch’s archives are one to envy because their many different choices gives the student access to hundreds of books that are within the cuny library system.  Also, there is a phone number that gives you access to a 24 hour librarian that is always there to help.  I know many student would rather choose to google information for their research papers but once you get the hang of using Baruch’s library’s databse, you will find yourself finding the best research out there.  I would definitely recomment this workshop to everyone because it is a useful tool to be able to find accurate and credible information for college.  A day should be dedicated to learning how to use the baruch’s database in every english or freshman seminar class.
