Trying to Meet With Graduate Students in Small Groups

For many years I have taught information literacy skills to graduate student as part of a departmental seminar.  Since most of these seminars are large, students may get lost in the crowd.  They may feel embarrassed about asking questions and thus refrain from doing so.  I thought that in this forthcoming semester I will meet with graduate students in small groups and avoid lecturing them.  Instead I will ask them about their research interests and demonstrate the databases by answering their specific questions.  Let’s see if it works.
