“I learned many new research skills, including (1) how to narrow my search on OneSearch, (2)
how to navigate outside sources (such as JSTOR, Google Scholar, etc.), (3) how to better utilize
OhioLINK and Interlibrary Loan, (4) how to use bibliographies from one source to find other
sources, (5) how to understand and utilize “Subject Terms” and “Abstracts”, (6) how to use
SearchOhio, and (7) how to utilize and cite sources such as videos/media posts. I will be using
all of these skills for future assignments!”

“I plan on using the CINAHL and PUBMED databases. After my face-to-face appointment, I
had the opportunity to go home and navigate through these databases without difficulty. I
am also currently working on a research proposal paper and I was able to significantly
narrow my search based on my learnings during my appointment. My time with the
librarian was very valuable and as I progress through my graduate program I will continue
to reach out to her for assistance.”

“At the beginning of my freshman year I made a research appointment. That appointment
helped me understand how to use the library as well as helping me with one specific project.
Since then I have been able to use the library to research teaching students with special needs,
online language learning, and Christianity & the arts. I have found artifacts for education
projects and resources for my future Spanish classroom in the CMC. I feel like the entire
information world is available to me here. The Centennial Library is my tuition money well
spent and supports higher education at its finest!”

“I have been particularly helped
by the research librarians. That
service is very nice to have. Also,
I am thankful that there are lots
of places to work and that it’s a
quiet environment.”

“The Research Center completely
changed the way I prepare to
write a paper and gave me the
resources/training I needed to be
successful.”
