“Before completing the online activity, I was a bit worried because I wasn't sure how easy it would be to find library resources to use for my project. As the video [tutorial] progressed, many of my questions were answered and those worries faded away. I was pleased to see that the librarian not only provided three great online library resources, but also went into detail and explained how to use each one.”
