The new semester has begun, and that means I get to teach again. While preparing for some of these classes can be time consuming, I absolutely love teaching students in library/research instruction. I get to share with them tools and resources that will help them succeed. One of my favorite moments in these classes and when I see students, wide-eyed with awe when I show them a new tool that is perfect for them. (Usually RefWorks and the embedded citation tool it comes with does the trick.)
What I think I love best about teaching, however, is the fact that it causes me to research new things. Every class is different, so I have to prepare anew for each one. I have found so many books and resources from these classes that I am constantly amazed. More than once I have added a book to my TBR list because a class caused it to come across my path.
This job does have it's rewards.

Just wondering if the image of the book and heart are copyrighted if not my I use it.
