Jackie,

Some of the teachers are very good about working with me.  Even if we =
don't truly collaborate, they ask for my input and are open to my =
suggestions about making changes to their assignments.  On the other side, =
though, are those who know exactly what they want their students to do and =
won't adapt it no matter how impossible the task.  I even had one teacher =
tell her students that they'll have to go to a "real library" since ours =
won't have what they need.  More common, though, are those teachers who =
haven't checked to find out if we have it and don't really care.  If the =
project fails they seem to be OK with that and blame the library, =
librarian, or students, but never the assignment.  Most teachers fall =
somewhere in between these two extremes, but are closer to the latter type =
than the former.

In the case of good books,
the point is not to see how many of them you can get through,
but rather how many can get through to you.

Lynn and others:

As an LMS grad student, I'm wondering ---Is there much of a problem with
teachers assigning projects without checking first to see what resources =
are
available ? -- does teaching staff check with you to make sure there is a =
reasonable chance of finding appropriate resources before they assign =
projects? Or are you often getting surprised with "impossible" requests =
after
the assignment is made?
