Even though I have worked at the campus library for the past year, I find that most of my knowledge has come from this class.  My work for the Pathfinder Project has been a major part of my knowledge enhancement for effectively utilizing the library for research.  I recommend this class for anyone who needs to develop research skills or anyone who owns a library card.  Thanks, Jami, for sharing your wealth of knowledge.  Everyone, I wish you all a fab summer!

Best,
