A forum at the American Library Association's annual meeting focused on how students and researchers use university library resources a subject that librarians know surprisingly little about. Steven J. Bell, associate university librarian at Temple presented findings on a study he and colleagues did of LibGuides, which are subject- or course-specific guides designed to help students find relevant library resources. The research focused on one specific course in public speaking. The research was not entirely conclusive, but the larger goal, Bell said, was trying to figure out how to help students change their research behavior in useful ways.
