This week’s library champion is Dr. Mark King. Dr. King uses
the Dorothy W. Hightower Collaborative Learning Center & Library two to
three times a week. King peruses journal articles and the New York Times. King
“gets his daily news” from the library. King requires a research paper with an
annotated bibliography that has to have ten academic and library based sources.
King feels the library is “more relevant now in these days of fake news. They
have good, reliable sources for our students.” In his spare time, King enjoys
searching the more obscure Georgia history databases, but for research he turns
first to Academic Search Complete. He recommends Academic Search Complete and
MedLine for his students. King recommends the Digital Theater database which
has live plays. The library “is such a refreshing environment now.” Dr. King is
reminded of an upscale sushi restaurant in New York when he walks in. “I like
the fun environment. The ability to write on the walls and the tables, and the
interactive touch screens seems subversive. Good scholarship is always going to
be subversive.”
