One-on-One Junior History Thesis Assistance
Originally uploaded by Pesky Library

After visiting the History Fair, each junior meets one-on-one with a librarian. They receive a little red bag containing note cards, highlighter, and other helpful supplies. They enroll in a special Moodle class that contains links to the most useful online resources for their project and hints for beginning their research. Each student receives individualized, topic-specific help to ensure that they begin their research on the proper foot. They examine the library’s holdings to ensure that they will have enough resources and learn to find and request additional resources through interlibrary loan. More importantly, they’ve made a connection with a librarian whom they can contact for extra help any time they need extra guidance with the research process.
