Jones, Lynne and Stephanie Willen Brown. "Does Forcing Students to Ask for Help Work? Assessing the Effect of Requiring Term Paper Consultations." Librarians' Association at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill annual meeting, March 2015. Stephanie has worked with students in Jim Hefner's JOMC 424 (Electronic Media Management) class, spending more and more time with his students. In spring 2014, he began *requiring* students to meet with a librarian, rather than encouraging them to do so, as they prepared to write their 12-15 page research paper. He had tried all manner of encouragement with little success; requiring students to meet with a librarian was much more successful. In fall 2014, we received IRB approval to survey Hefner's students to assess if their meeting with us had an effect on their confidence in writing the paper (somewhat) and they perceived it would have an effect on meeting with a librarian in the future (they said it did). This presentation highlights our research findings and discusses our plans for future interactions with Hefner's students. Takeaway message: Tell faculty to require students to meet with a librarian!
