在Pellissippi州立社区学院（PSCC），我们的用户通过访问许多盖尔资源金宝搏彩票田纳西州的电子图书馆（TEL）。通过我们的电话设置中，我们可以跟踪仅PSCC用户统计数据。从我们的统计数据，我们知道，大风资源被大量使用PSCC顾客和有此成功金宝搏彩票的背后有几个原因：
在课堂教学
Our students primarily use the resources shown to them during class. PSCC librarians provided research instruction to 137 classes this past fall semester. PSCC librarians and teaching faculty find that students who receive in-class research instruction achieve higher grades on their research assignments. One of the lessons we present to students is the importance of finding background information before searching for journal articles.Opposing Viewpoints In Context我们去到数据库演示的背景研究。一切 ”In Context” databases contain Topic Pages for select topics, which provide histories and explain the different viewpoints of those topics or issues.
Faculty Outreach
因为不是所有的教员可以找到我n a 5 to 16 week semester to have us in their classes, educating our faculty about our resources is the next best way to reach our students. Our faculty learn about Gale databases at our New Faculty Academy, where we introduce library resources, and at Faculty In-Service, where we demonstrate new databases or changes and new features to current databases. Librarians at PSCC are faculty and serve as subject liaisons. With this designation comes the responsibility to serve on campus academic committees and attend academic department meetings (and sometimes share after-work beers). Relationships with faculty are formed through these committees. I find that these relationships make faculty more comfortable talking with librarians about research assignments and available resources, which provides us the opportunity to recommend the most appropriate resources for their upcoming assignments (or their own research).
