Institutions and Libraries

If you every been to a library you know of the computers, you know of the books, and the internet. But I bet you didn't know what happens in the Institution itself. I'm currently working on a big project for this class, but along with my other topics, I'm going to discuss this topic with polls, and assignments for you the audience to way in on the discussion board itself.

first mission, sit down at the table. view the library. what does the Library do? What is the library's purpose? Can you decide? How many people work at the desk? Do they approach you? Are they friendly?

Usually, these questions are necessary in a library setting in hiring a librarian. Librarians are usually nice, and helpful. (not always, but should be the case)

second mission, go through your reference section of your library. See what kind of books are there. Whether your library is special, academic, school, or public. Go and search it out.

I bet you would be surprised at the level of research you can do in your own library.

At the public, special, academic, and school they must provide research and resources for their clinetiele to research. The institution must do whatever they can in order to meet the demand of the public they serve. this involves special degrees within library science, and experience to master the craft.

Try my exercise. I did this last month, and am working on something similar for this class. I learned a whole lot about my library.
