Class

I got to sit in on a class a few months ago. I was surprised that the students did not know where the main collection was, nor did they seem to know where a lot of the materials were located in the library. I mentioned this to the Reference librarian who was teaching the class. The class was an instruction session for English students on how to use the library and the resources for their subject area. She said that you can't assume that the students know these things. She said that she tries to give them as much information as possible, in the time frame allotted, but at the same time it is hard to explain everything, especially since there is never enough time.
