Library Visit

Our visit to the library was very interesting. I was shocked to see what books are geared towards the youth today. I was extremely shocked to hear that there was a book out there that talks about "sex groups", although she stated that it does not promote such actions but talks about them shocks and worries me as a mother. As an English major I am a little ashamed to admit I never knew of the collection here on campus. I never knew of its importance. Making appointments and such things seems a bit tedious but I'm sure it is all worth it in the end. In the four years that I've been here I think maybe one of my previous teachers brought our class once, and that was to help us familiarize ourselves with the library then, it was not a very good presentation. I wish more teachers would use the library more as a way to show us how to do research and the simple act of checking out books. I know class time is crucial but I do not understand how so many teachers here at Fresno State expect us to be library geniuses and know the library like the back of our busy hands. Overall I was very impressed by the presentation and the information the two ladies offered. I found it very interesting to hear of guest speakers coming to Fresno State but was not to impressed with the prices! At $60.00 per visit I think not! As a student who feeds on Top Ramen and Macaroni N' Cheese on a regular basis such an activity would be out of my league, even periodically.
