...require students to attend a library workshop.
Too many students do not kow how to search EBSCO. They provide World Wide Web sources, instead of academic sources. They don't know how to conduct research for a term paper or literatire review. The do a Google search, instead. I think all sudents should be REQUIRED to learn these skills so that instructors don't have to struggle with this issue.

I think that having a computer station or two in the Falcon room is a very interesting idea for checking email, quick research and the like…
I’m not sure if the student senate thinks this a good idea but someone could certainly propose this idea to them. Thanks for your idea! -
