Actual Questions to Librarians from Students

"What do you call a person who helps students find books and look up articles?"

 

Charles Gaunce

University of Texas at El Paso
El Paso, TX

 

 

Librarian:

"Do you know how to use the library catalog or databases?"

Student:

"I'm not going to need them; I'm doing research."

Jeanne Gaunce

Cameron University
Lawton, OK

 

"I found a reference book I can use for my project. Is there a database that can search it for me?"

The student was surprised that he might be required to turn the pages by himself.
