- 13 SLAC students attended – mix of UG and GR students

What makes library instructions effective and what doesn’t?
- Has a librarian ever come into one of your courses?
- 6 students had a librarian come to their class
- Experiences:
- ALI- Chemistry Student - had 2 instances: one as lower level UG and later as upper level. Both were helpful and geared to introduction and more advance software /database use for Chemistry students.
- No one reported having to sit through 2 instruction session in two different courses that covered the same things.
- E
- Did the librarian’s session help you with your assignment or to succeed in your course?
- What is one thing you wished you had learned about the library early in your academic career that you didn't learn until your junior or senior year?
- How can we make library instruction and library workshops more valuable to you?
