This week’s library champion is Dr. Adria Goldman. Dr.
Goldman visits the Dorothy W. Hightower Collaborative Learning Center &
Library several times a month. Goldman uses GALILEO for personal research and
classroom research. Goldman incorporates an activity with GALILEO in her
classes and she assigns group projects which encourage students to use the
library to rent laptops and study rooms to collaborate on the project. Goldman’s
favorite databases are Academic Complete and EPSCOhost for research. Goldman encourages
her students to use EPSCOhost and a GALILEO general search. Goldman gives them
an activity where they have to use GALILEO for research. “It helps them to find
what their favorite database might be.” Goldman recommends everyone check out
GALILEO and EPSCOhost for research and classwork. Goldman is “in love with how
the study rooms, dry erase walls, and laptops are welcoming students to work
together to map out ideas to present in their classes. I think it is a funky
space. It is another place on campus where students can come together to do
group work.” Goldman feels the library seems to say “we know what you need and
we want it to work for you.”
