It is near the end of April as we approach the end of the spring
semester. My major complaint is that the
situation is same old same old. We still
get so few walk up reference transactions, yet I read on librarian listservs
that other libraries report many questions even in the evening hours. My theory is that NJIT students are “tech
savvy” and can navigate through online databases with minimal assistance. I am more upset that students majoring in
chemistry and related disciplines rarely ask for more me. Years ago I had regular consultations with
graduate students and faculty.
This semester I taught a share of the research roadmaps
which are given to freshman taking a required humanities course. As in previous semesters most students don’t
hand in their assignments on time, while some don’t even bother. What can we do?
20 months until I retire at the end of 2017.
