13. The main idea to getting students to use the materials is to get them into the library. It is important for the materials to circulate among its users. Historically, negative re-enforcement measures such as fines for overdue books have been used to keep students from keeping materials too long. Unfortunately, that has had the effect of keeping students from using the collection due to a fear of fines. One of the most effective ways of promoting a collection is through sponsoring reading programs. It is also important to display material on the media bulletin board. Students need to be encouraged to use the collection. A collection is not just for looks but to be used.

14. Dr. Haynes provided excellent instruction in LS 534 in this area. Through proper description and classification of materials, this will grant the user access to the materials. I will continue to grow in this area of expertise. Although most materials are easily described and classified, I find some areas of classification to be difficult. Through collaboration with other library professionals, I plan to increase my knowledge in this area. <br />
