Hi Caitlin

Thanks for the great post. I also thought referencing referred only to something we needed to include in our assignments and not a service offered by libraries. Throughout my study career I never thought to ask for help finding with my research. I guess I never wanted to waste the time of a librarian. I may have been lucky enough to just find it on my own. I think if I was doing an assignment that required quite a lot of references that may be difficult to get a hold of then I think I would ask for help or maybe now that I know that it’ s a service offered by libraries I might use them start using it to increase the quality of my research or spend less time seeking out references for my assignments. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a reference service advertised. I have a feeling I’ll see them everywhere from now on.
