Today I sat in on an instruction session for SW383, taught by Robin. The objective of the session was to teach these students how to find and access bills and laws, and demographic information. This is to help in completing a large assignment where the student has to analyze a social policy. Robin directed them to the course's Libguide and took them trhough the process of searching Thomas.gov. I helped a couple of students with simple questions, and also observed interactions between Robin and students to learn how to answer these kinds of questions. I will serve as a backup to Robin and Mary for student questions, as Robin expects a lot of consultations for this particular assignment.

I spent an hour on the reference desk, which was somewhat slow. I helped a student start some general research on Kenya by directing her to Credo Reference and Academic Search Complete.

The rest of the time I spent working on the Novels of Social Protest LibGuide. I brought it to the point where Robin can do a final review of it, which she will do tomorrow morning.
