very very usefull in finding information |
| x |
|
|
I enjoyed the information |
| x |
|
|
I feel that this was an excellent
excercise, and that it really helps computer illiterate people like
myself. I have a hard time doing research. |
| x |
|
|
I learned a lot about accessing information
here in the Weber State Library. Thanks. |
| x |
|
|
good job Fran! |
| x |
|
|
I think it was really fun, and I'm
glad that I now know how to use the library, thanks! |
| x |
|
|
this was awesome i can now make better
use of my time when searching for info. |
| x |
|
|
t helped to understand the things
that we have here at Weber. It also opens up a oppertunity to use
this not just for my english class, but for my other classes |
| x |
|
|
el this was very helpful because I
have been out of school for years and had no idea how to use these
resources. |
| x |
|
|
COMING TO THE LIBRARY IS ALWAYS A
USEFUL EXERCISE FOR ME. IT ENABLES ME TO LEARN MORE INFORMATION ON
THE INTERNET AND TO LEARN OTHER HELPFUL LIBRARY EXERCISES. THANK YOU. |
| x |
|
|
thought it was an informative class
and easy to fallow |
| x |
|
|
I had fun. |
| x |
|
|
it was very informative, thank you. |
|
|
x |
great session although the computers
are hard to see with the glare of the lights, perhaps turning them
off would help. |
| x |
|
|
This is a good introduction on how
to use the Library Catalog and stuff. It really helps you how to learn
the system |
| x |
|
|
You always get to learn about the
library in high school, but I had yet had the opportunity to learn
about the library while in college. I have been here 1 1/2 years and
have used the library once. mainly because I had no idea how to go
about it. Now that I know more of how to get around, I am sure I will
frequent the WSU library at least 2-3 times a month. |
|
|
x |
this exercise was easier for the people
who are very familiar with a computer and are able to jump from one
computer task to the next. However it was alot harder for me because
I have never really used a computer before. |
| x |
|
|
THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL ESPECIALY TO
STUDENTS WHO HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIND BOOKS OR WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN
TO LOOK. AT LEAST NOW I KNOW I CAN LOOK THEM UP ON THE COMPUTER TO
SEE IF THIS LIBRARY HAS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. |
| x |
|
|
Great information |
| x |
|
|
This presentation gave me the impression
that my instructor cares about my performance in this class. This
session was helpful |
| x |
|
|
Everything was very good. I still
get frusterated when I get into an encyclopedia or database and I
can't use information there because I am not subscribed to their database.
That is the only complaint that I have. You all are life savers! Thank
you! |
| x |
|
|
The instruction given on Library/Internet
skills was very helpful! I knew that the reference computers were
available, but did not fully know how to use the program. This is
a great way to find information for research papers! Going through
the worksheet helped familiarize me with the program. The reference
desk and computers are the way to go! Thanks!! |
| x |
|
|
I usually fall asleep through just
about any presentation there is. This one was different, though. Regardless
of me walking in late, I was still able to get the information that
I needed to do the exercise, and it was short. Short but informative,
the presenter also stayed around to make sure there were no questions
that he might answer before he left. |
| x |
|
|
thANK YOU |
|
|
x |
I thought the class was helpful, but
I didn't have much time to do the worksheet. |
| x |
|
|
This assignment help me to understand
how to locate properly using the library and the website information
that I need to complete my research project. |
|
x |
|
I would like the librarians to help
the students out a little bit nicer. |
| x |
|
|
I really enjoyed the presentation
and it was very helpful to me. |
|
|
x |
I did not have time to finish this
during the scheduled session. When I tried to access the enclyopedias
from off-site, I was denied access. |
|
x |
|
There was not enough time for the
instructer to convey all the information to the students. I feel as
if the instructor threw a lot of information at me and I had no time
to process it in my mind.If we could have come to the libary for two
class periods then I believe the information would have been better
received and processed. |
| x |
|
|
Having been out of college for about
20 years this was a very helpful exercise in learning how to use the
web and the new technology. Thank you |
| x |
|
|
I think the speaker we had, explained
things very well and was very helpful towards all of us. |
| x |
|
|
I learned about how useful the data
base really is. Thanks. |
|
|
x |
The library instructor was fine, I
think that it would be incredibly more effective to allow for some
actual research time in the library as opposed to just instructional
time. |
| x |
|
|
I feel a lot comfortable using the
internet now than I ever before. Thank you. |
|
x |
|
I thought that a little more help
could be used on helping us to recognise which resources were good
and not so good |
|
x |
|
The only thing that is hard or tricky
is the ones who use the library off campus. Getting into encyclopedias
and even the article databases took a lot of time and was hard to
set up, there needs to be a better way for kids who can not get up
to the campus all the time to access information. |
| x |
|
|
I am extremly greatful for the opportunity
that you have given me to learn how to use library resources. It is
and willl continually grow to be an important asset to my time spent
here at WSU. |
| x |
|
|
the instructor was very nice and willing
to help one on one which helped as much as the presentation...thanks |
|
x |
|
When I took the rest of the worksheet
home to finish I couldn't make the encyclopedia work it kept asking
for a password and username but the one hte librarian gave me did
not work. |

it was good, however instead of concentrating
on what I was to learn, I raced through it so that I wouldn't have
to do it on my own time(which I don't have) and I would be able to
make it to my next class on time. |
| x |
|
|
I think that this will really help
me when I go to do my research report in a couple of months. I now
know that I don't have to go to just the county library but I can
use the Weber library and probably get better success. |
| x |
|
|
Library search is new to me. After
this exercise, I feel like I could fumble around and locate the information
I'm searching for. Thanks!! |
| x |
|
|
I enjoyed this. I have been using
computers since 1978, but did not know how to use Weber's Library
resources. This was a great help to me. |
|
x |
|
The site is slow and not useful at
times I have found |
| x |
|
|
All the librarians were so helpful
and calm. It's nice to go into a place and know positive and effective
help is there no matter what time it is. |
|
x |
|
Although the library presentation
was probably nessessary for some students, I have been around computers,
the internet and even the old card catologs for years. So for me the
experence was a waste of time. |
| x |
|
|
I found this exercise very useful
and informative.It's good to know various ways to do research other
than just the internet. Thanks |
|
|
x |
The main reason it was effective was
that I didn't know that this type of research even excisted here.
I think the instructor should have allowed more time to work on it
ourselves. We can follow directions; we're not stupid. |
|
|
x |
I think the session was a little boring
and could use some excitement. |
| x |
|
|
The class helped me to understand
things a little better and now I now where to access the information
from. |
| x |
|
|
It was very good. I had no idea before,
now I know what and how to get materials from the library. |
| x |
|
|
I thought this assignment was particularly
effective and helped familiarize me with the library and its website
and databases. I can now use more of the resources that are available
to me. THANK YOU!! |
|
|
x |
I think there are many other ways
to get information. Using just the Weber State pages isnt enough for
all the information you might need so it might be better to go around
on the internet and find the things that are left out by the Weber
State Pages. But at least now I know where the Weber State Library
is:) |
| x |
|
|
I thought that the activity allowed
hands-on training that will help you remember that there are other
resources out there for you to use for researching needs. |
| x |
|
|
The Library website will help save
me a lot of time, I didn't even know it existed! Bravo! |
|
x |
|
Doing this exercise really didn't
help me. The instructions sometimes didn't make sense when it said
to click on something and it wouldn't even be there. So overall, I
didn't find that doing this helped me. |
| x |
|
|
The worksheets helped me see where
to go and that was very helpful! |
|
x |
|
The course seemed directed towards
people who had a very limited knowledge of internet usage. I gained
a little familiarity with the WSU library system, but felt that some
of us were bored because the instruction was directed towards only
those with little internet experience. I kinda wanted to rush the
basics and maybe learn a few techniques that could improve my researching
skills. |
|
|
x |
This was a very useful exercise, I
thought it took a little long but overal it taught me what i needed
to know |
| x |
|
|
This was a good exercise to do, because
what I learned will help me in all of classes doing reports and finding
information. |
| x |
|
|
I appreciate the kind instructor who
took time out to help us better understand the library and internet
systems. I was blown away when I walked into the library on campus,
but now I have a much better understanding on how things are set up.
I also have something to help me now if I ever need help on the internet.
Thank you very much!!! |
| x |
|
|
The work was just a little time consumong
with a busy life. but knowing this information will save me time and
stress. thank you for all of your halp. Especially to those at the
davis campus library |
|
x |
|
I felt I would have gained so much
more if the evercise was explained a little slower and the important
parts of the paper ( example were to go to find the next assignment)
were clearly displayed on the pages so you dont have to search for
important info. |
| x |
|
|
I liked that someone personally came
from the library and guided through a basic formats of how to find
research effectly |
| x |
|
|
It was great |
| x |
|
|
I've used Web sites a lot to find
information. This exercise has helped to broaden my understanding
to obtaining further information I never knew existed. This newly
learned information will be of great benefit for this class and further
classes. I hope to help others with my newly learned information.
Thank you for this exercise! |
| x |
|
|
all of the different sources that
help to narrow your search on the internet was most helpful |
| x |
|
|
This little sub-course is great! |
| x |
|
|
very good keep it up the library is
impressive not what I expected stay the man or woman |
|
x |
|
I would have liked more time to get
familiar with this resource. I don?t feel I know as much as I should
about this resource. I do feel this important for me to learn and
know very well. It?s too bad more time wasn?t available. |
|
|
x |
I think they did a great job. But
the time limit was short. Maybe if we could have another session it
would help me understand more of it. |
| x |
|
|
thank u for helping us to use the
database |
| x |
|
|
i was very useful. thank you. |
| x |
|
|
This gave me a heads up on research
for my topic. I realized my first choice didn't have the detailed
information I was looking gor so I changed topics. |
| x |
|
|
I feel that I have learned more ways
to find information that I need. |
| x |
|
|
I'm sure this is going to help me
out alot in any future research. Thanks. |
| x |
|
|
The session was very informative.
It taught how to use the computers in the library which was very helpful.
I did not know how to use the computers and now that I do the research
shouldn't be as tough as expected. This is a very good program and
tool for students to use. And the hours the library is open is great
to allow students more time to use the computers and work on papers. |
| x |
|
|
I think this was a great activity.
I didn't realize how much info was out there. Thanks! |
| x |
|
|
Thankyou for going through this exercise,
it helped to realize the resources available to me. |
| x |
|
|
I have found the Weber State Stewart
library to be very useful to me. It is especially helpful that I can
activate the library right from my very own computer at home. Thanks! |
|
|
x |
It went by me so fast, that I'm not
sure I caught it all. However, I do feel that I'm aware of what's
available. Perhaps I just need a little more practice. |
| x |
|
|
I liked the session because it taught
me more about the library and the databases. I think that this session
will be highly effective in my future research. |
|
x |
|
Would have preferred more ideas and
lecture on how to use the library. The lecturer fell short of my expectations. |
| x |
|
|
Library/Internet skills was excellent.
I learned a lot. |
| x |
|
|
This class was very informative and
will help in the future when I write papers for school. Thanks! |
| x |
|
|
nice to know that this is avalible
to me |
| x |
|
|
This little exercise day helped me
tremndously now and hopefully in the future |
|
x |
|
This exercise is about as effective
as jumping around on your own. The only difference is I would find
what I was looking for if I was using my own way. |
| x |
|
|
This was a good idea becaus I have
never been here before. I hope that I can remember how to use this
and I know that it will take time for me to know how to use it. The
instrutor that was here was very helpful. I was confused on how to
use it but I know that I can come and get help if needs be. |
|
|
x |
I would have liked to have more time
in the library class to ask more questions and not be so rushed. We
only spent an hour in class. This class did help me to understand
the library resources much better and give me different areas to find
research. |
|
x |
|
A couple of the questions I couln't
get in to. It wouldn't take my password |
|
|
x |
At the time I did this study, the
Library Catalog was down and apparently had been for several hours.
That made it somewhat difficult to complete this exercise and in fact
I was unable to do so. I do however feel that this exercise is useful
and that it will help me in future courses. This is something that
everyone should be required to do at an early point in their academic
career. |
|
|
x |
At the time of this exercise, the
WSU Library Catalog was down and apparently had been for several hours.
This made it difficult to do this whole assignment effectively. Other
than that I appreciate the opportunity to do this exercise. I was
amazed at how easy everything was to access once I got into it. After
doing this exercise I only wished that I had done it sooner, but i
feel that it will be extremely helpful to me in other courses that
I will take in the future. Everyone should have to do this exercise
in the very early stages of their academic career. |
|
x |
|
Your library catalog site was down,
which prohibited me from finishing my assignment. |
| x |
|
|
The information I was looking for
was easily accesses and made simpler with helpful hints that the library
provides, I found the assignment to take little time besides when
the databases crash. Thank you. |
|
|
x |
I FEEL THAT THIS WAS USEFUL FOR THE
STUDENTS THAT ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE LIBRARY. I THINK IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN MORE USEFULL IN MY ENGLISH 1010 CLASS THAN IN MY 2010. |
| x |
|
|
The people that were willing to help
me were very nice and helpful.This is a very easy way to find information.
It saves you a lot of time and stress. |
| x |
|
|
I thought it was great that my professor
took the time to take us to the library so we are more aware of the
resources that are available to students for research. I don't know
if I would have taken the time myself to do it. Thank you. |
|
|
x |
I think that it was usefull, but it
kind of was busy work. I would have rather done it when I really needed
to research a topic and not to it for nothing. |
| x |
|
|
Librarians were very nice and helpful.
Thank you. |
| x |
|
|
I will be able to use this programs
in a lot of my classes now. I found the information fairly easy to
find. And there is a lot of information! |
| x |
|
|
It was a good way to help me find
a research topic. |
| x |
|
|
good stuff man |

Since the University experienced a
virus last Tuesday, 9/18/2001 I have found it harder to do some of
the research using the paths described in the handout..some of the
links mentioned do not work very well like question 11 using the Reference
Resources and going into an Encyclopedia.. Encyclopedia of Life Sciences
did not work at all and even the route describer for Encyclopedia
Britannica was somewhat difficult. I had to have a librarian come
over and help me because I couldn't get any "hits" i hope
the virus is soon or somehow cleaned up. |
|
|
x |
People at the reference & info
services were very helpull. Thanks. Because of a virus in the system,
I was not able to understand the instructions. |
| x |
|
|
I was already familiar with the library
but unfamiliar with the article databases this was informative for
me. |
|
|
x |
This was a good exercise to teach
students how to use the library system, but I had a hard time understanding
many of the directions in the Library Skills exercise. It would help
if the directions were a little more clear so that we will know exactly
what our teacher is looking for and what information we're supposed
to have on our worksheets. Thanks!!! |
| x |
|
|
I learned alot from this assignment. |
| x |
|
|
I didn't know that I can find so many
magzines in the library....cool.... |
|
x |
|
i was already familiar with how to
look things up online. this was a very remedial worksheet. (although
the websight was having problems so that was troublesome) |
