How to Start

Start with the basics

• Many undergraduate students have no information or library skills;
• Many graduate students have limited skills.

Start on a small-scale

• No need to begin with a full-blown program.

Do the best you can with what you have

• Instructor's interest, expertise;
• Resources available at own school.
