Examples
Previous Content
Librarian:
On your left is the Circulation Desk. It's where you go to check out books and to activate your ID as your library card. You can check out books for 28 days, and renew them for an additional 28 days. If they're overdue, though, the fine is 50¢ per day. This is also where "Reserve" materials are held. If your professor has told you to look at a book or article on Reserve, stop by this desk for assistance.
Same Content, New Questions
Student: Do I need a card to use the Library?
Librarian: Your ID is your library card. Stop here at the Circulation Desk to activate it.
Student: How long can I check books out for? What happens if they're overdue?
Librarian: You can check books out for 28 days. They're 50¢ a day if they're overdue, but you can renew them online.
More Challenging Content
Librarian:
For some of your projects, your professors will specify that you need "scholarly" articles. Scholarly articles are written by researchers (or scholars) and convey the results of their first-hand research. They are generally longer than popular articles, like you would see in magazines like "Time" and "Newsweek," and frequently contain extensive bibliographies.
