Enticing faculty to library instruction workshops.
Abstract
It is often difficult to engage academic faculty and staff to attend workshops about changing library technologies and resources. This article discusses a successful program, "Find it Fast: Research Tips for People in a Hurry." This instruction program targeted academic faculty and staff who were not aware of new online journals, databases, and computer linking services such as SFX. "Find it Fast" outlined advanced Web searching skills, ways to maximize your research time, and new library services. Recruitment, evaluation results, and the fit with overall outreach efforts is discussed.
