So I had an older gentleman come to my office today asking for help. He said he remembered me from a BI instructional I had taught and wanted me to help him with his research. He was doing a paper on diversity in the workforce and wanted to know what databases to use, and how to get the citations from the articles he finds. I had him log in on a computer and took him to our library home page and from there showed him the best databases to use in which he might get something on his topic. I also had him create an Ebsco account so he could save his articles and get to them from work, since it did not seem like he was going to stay long and I did not want him to lose his work. I also provided him with some different options on how to save/copy his citations to a reference page.
It was nice to be approached by someone that remembered me :) And he had written my name and contact information down! [so i know he was legit]heh. Before he left, I gave him my business card and let him know he could contact me any time he needed help.
Thank you sir for cheering me up! :)
