A lot of resources can be found online anymore. Even at our own small town library, we don't have resources for a lot of school projects when students are doing research. Many of the books are out of date that we do have and they'll have better look online, including resources that are available through our library's website. After all, you can get full-text articles there that are more up-to-date than most, if not all, of the books we have.Bryan G.

My college library had three floors of books. They had a great selection of all kinds of literature, but I have to admit that I only used the books for my studies once or twice. Most of my assignments were researched on the computer, and I mostly used the library to check out leisure reading.Leah @ Books Speak Volumeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843680530053274951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-21656266392705244522014-11-09T19:40:06.832-08:002014-11-09T19:40:06.832-08:00All that luxury; all those extras that make life s...All that luxury; all those extras that make life so much more comfortable than it was back in our day, but the student loans are killing the kids. I wonder how much they could save if they live in semi-private dorm rooms with baths down the hall and ate in a cafe that offered three choices per meal?RAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102249990885174107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-41763123619423204412014-11-09T12:38:01.740-08:002014-11-09T12:38:01.740-08:00I went on college visits with my son, as he was ap...I went on college visits with my son, as he was applying to schools he'd never seen. My daughter has been on every college campus she is considering for at least a week for a summer camp. I'm not sure if that's enough but hope it is.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802962504752307751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-86787318039508441772014-11-09T12:06:56.219-08:002014-11-09T12:06:56.219-08:00Impossible.Impossible.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119335579919927653.post-42792695012154218832014-11-09T12:06:48.203-08:002014-11-09T12:06:48.203-08:00Okay, I'll say it: You can't be old enough...Okay, I'll say it: You can't be old enough to have a college age sonDeb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.com
