Western Libraries is a complex information system meeting the
in-depth scholarly research needs of university students
and faculty. Group research visits are useful when academic library
resources are appropriate for student projects, and when the learning
goals for the students would be served by such a visit.
To ensure a
positive and successful experience at Western Libraries, we recommend
that you consult your School
Librarian/Media Specialist regarding your class
needs.
- Discuss your students' research needs with your school
librarian.
- Have your students
participate in at least one session with your school librarian or
media specialist focusing on research strategies and sources for
their topic.
- Determine if your students need the level and range of
information that can only be found at an academic research library.
Often the research needs of students in elementary and middle
schools can more successfully be met through the use of their school
and public library collections and resources.
If you and your School
Librarian/Media Specialist determine a visit would be effective for your
students, please refer to the page
Arranging Your Visit
for more detailed information.
