Before coming to ASU I didn’t have very good experiences with libraries. It was always hard for me to find what I was looking for and the people there didn’t really want to help you, not to mention they were all old and grumpy. Now at ASU I am confident in Fletcher libraries abilities to help me achieve the grades I was meant to.
ASU libraries not only make it easy to find what you need at school; they give you the convenience of searching all of the ASU databases from the comfort of your home. These days when writing papers for our classes; the instructors want scholarly works. The ASU libraries website provides a program called Ebsco Host that provides students with scholarly works, newspaper articles, and even journal entries. Ebsco Host is not only easier but your professors trust it. If you should happen to go to either Google or Ask.com to obtain research you are flirting with danger. Marc Mason in the module said that Google could provide many inappropriate sources. Anyone can make a website about something they know nothing about. The worst part about it is you don’t know whether that particular source is accurate.
Not only does they ASU libraries contain a huge collection of book’s they also have many other things such as a café, computer labs and study lounges. The campus that contains the most libraries (5) is the Tempe campus. ASU libraries are vital to student success and will continue to do so after I’m gone.
