Using the Library for Retrieving Scholarly Information
Zachary Ladzinski
FYE Reflection

One thing that I remember from the library presentation and that I will make us of is the ability to use the online catalog. I feel that it will be the easiest way for me to access scholarly information for future projects. So far I have not been using the library a lot to find information but more of online sources. This being said I can take complete advantage of the library at NVCC.
If I were hired as a librarian, to reach my freshman class I would try to bring involvement in from the students. Instead of looking up specifics chosen by me to walk people through, I would let the students choose their own topic and find valuable and scholarly information on it. After researching I would have them share within groups the sources they used and what actual info they got.
I liked the way the librarian introduced the ways we could find sources on the Internet and school website. The only thing I would say I disliked is the topics we were forced to research and then explain how we got there.
If there was no class I probably would've have spent the time doing homework. Or in all honesty, pulled the old procrastination trick and do absolutely nothing. But instead of that I learned the values of using the library for scholarly information.

    Sonoma State librarians currently teach information literacy on an as-needed basis, generally when invited by teaching faculty in the university disciplines to demonstrate specific databases or research skills to specific classes. Instructional librarians would like to create a more formal curriculum around the ACRL board’s new Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, which describes six frames that underpin information literacy:…

    I must admit that I was a little overwhelmed when I first tried to navigate through the New Classroom. I love the way everything (as far as the assigned readings and assignments) were organized, and I love the fact that I had a chance to compare the Online Learning System (OLS) to the New Classroom. Being that I carefully read everything assigned (sometimes twice); I feel that I am now ready to start my classes being prepared!…

    This class has been an experience to which I am thankful for. I believe this class should continue to be a must for all incoming freshman here at Concordia. By taking this class I learned so many things about how to successfully adapt from high school classes to college courses. Every day in your class was a new day for me to learn about how to prepare and plan for success for not only the next four years, but also for the rest of my life. The great thing about transitions though, is that I was about to meet so many great new people in my life. With all the interacting done between people in the class, I was able to talk and have conversations with everybody…

    In English class we read many books, which wasn’t my favorite thing. We also focused a lot on compound, complex and simple sentences. In math we did almost everything. We covered 12 chapters over the entire year and it was really busy, but fun I guess. Science has been fun. It’s kind of been like a second math class because we have been doing a lot of conversion problems and things like that. We also did a…

    I also made it difficult for myself because the entire semester I was trying to find sides and argue for a side, but most of the assignments did not require me to do that. I also learned the importance of asking questions as well as the use of the writing center. Without those factors this semester would have been very difficult, but due to the clarity they ensured me I was able to come out on top. I learned more about what works for me as a writer such as when I am conducting research and reading different articles it is helpful when I write down key things within the article. I learned that I do better with a paper when I do an outline then I write my rough draft on paper then I type it. I also learned a lot about life because it was all about current issues which I did not really keep up with until this class, but I regret not keeping up with them before this class. I find current issues very interesting and I like exploring the different viewpoints and why they believe that. I also learned that in life when someone does not agree with you it is good to still listen to their side although you may not agree because most of the time you guys can find something you can agree on then you can compromise. Compromising is very important in everything because everyone will not agree with everything you…

    For example, learning all these subjects in one class helped me not be bored, as frank as that sounds. When I took these classes separately in high school, I would get annoyed because they all were so similar and nothing would overlap and it was just so much separate work. I like the setup of homework and the papers. Reading is one of my favorite things, therefore having to read for class and then having to write a first pass benefited my learning. Just having lectures separated by subjects but still incorporating other subjects is really helpful for me. I really appreciate the intertwining dynamic between the classes and…

    Being a student of Mrs. Wilson Comp. II Class was okay this semester. There are a few things that I did learn this semester in her class. I learned how to write a research paper and do academic journals. I enjoy doing the academic journals because it was an interesting way to find information that you are looking for. If I ever need to look up any information that I need to find on the internet I could use my academic journals method to help narrow down my information. However, the research paper was horrible because it was very difficult for me to put all your information together to try to make an argument that need to be cited if the information was not mine. It was hard to use the citation that was not mine without plagiarizing.…

    From the assignments and researches, I achieved a great deal of understanding about critical thinking, writing a correct sentence and most of all realizing the different thoughts from different people in the class. People have their own opinions in every worked paper we have done which helps me to realize that people have different believes concerning different issues. I respect every once opinions and am happy that I took them as a good knowledge gained. I just wish I would have taken a class like this sooner! The research and actual writing process just seems so much easier once you break it down.…

    Starting off my first semester of college I didn't know what to expect, the first day felt like the first day of high school all over again. With graduation over and the first day of college over, high school was just like college. When entering my reading class it reminded me of my senior writing class but with a twist of personality. What I learned in reading class this semester was more of a review of my senior writing and reading class combined. I enjoyed learning about both topics because it would help my vocab in the essays I would have to write. The thing I liked most about this class was that I had a lot of knowledge about the topic when starting. I knew what we were talking about so it made it more joyful to learn about the subject…

    Working together all participants can help develop strategies to assist students in gaining information (The Association of College and Research Libraries, 2000). Not all individuals learn the same way so it is important to incorporate different learning tools to assist each person. First, a student must determine the information needed. Students can obtain this knowledge from their instructors, technology, and references pertaining to their subject matter. One must also determine their audience they are trying to capture and tailor their information and presentation to reach the selected target (The Association of College and Research Libraries, 2000). Second, students must select an investigative method. This investigation might include fieldwork, lab results, etc. They must also assess the relevance of the results they have obtained (The Association of College and Research Libraries, 2000). All the information and knowledge obtained through research and investigation should be managed by various technologies to help organize and track the data (The Association of College and Research Libraries, 2000). Third, the information must be incorporated into ones knowledge base and value system. Information literate student can analyze the information and can determine if there is deception or manipulation and can validate the…
