As documented by observations at SPCC and in the library literature, students use the tools they know to find information and are unwilling to change their habits without an outside influence--often the teaching faculty--encouraging the students' use of the library and its resources. Students need good research skills for their college-level academic work, and those skills are also vital as they transfer to other academic programs or enter the workplace. By presenting a professional development session targeted at teaching faculty, librarians influenced a positive shift in faculty requirements for student research.
