URC - Librarians as Research Facilitators
Librarians help students overcome challenges in research by acting as research facilitators. Students often believe they cannot develop original ideas or that sources must say exactly what they plan to argue. However, librarians can persuade students that original ideas are allowed and help them find relevant sources. Additionally, many college graduates lack patience and persistence when solving information problems in the workplace, often relying on quick search engine queries. Librarians can help students develop research skills by guiding them to appropriate resources, constructing knowledge, and partnering with students and instructors to overcome challenges in assignments. Examples provided demonstrate librarians helping students research newly purchased sculptures by pulling from different sources and familiarizing students with primary sources in archives.
