Library Champions




This week's Library Champion is Dr. Peter Boltz. Dr. Boltz visits the Dorothy W. Hightower Collaborative Learning Center & Library at least once a week. Boltz uses the library for numerous things such as looking up topics, checking out reference books, picking up interlibrary loan books, and “checking sources students have in their bibliographies.” Boltz encourages his classes to use the library. “In my speech class, students need to research their topics; in my human communication class, students need to research their speech topics.” Also in his argumentation class, Boltz says, “Students need to find opinions, editorials, etc. to discuss in class.” Boltz likes all the databases but for personal use he prefers Academic Search Complete or Research Library. One of the main reasons Boltz likes the library is “the librarians, no doubt.”
