Conversation 1
Narrator
Listen to part of a conversation between a student and a librarian.
Student
Hi, um…, I really hope you can help me.
Librarian
That’s why I’m here. What can I do for you?
Student
I’m supposed to do a literature review for my psychology course, but um… having a hard time
finding articles. I don’t even know where to start looking.
Librarian

Librarian

Student

databases or electronic journals and articles through the library’puters, and if you want to
search by title with the word ‘dream’ for example, just type it in and all the articles with ‘dream’
in the title e up on the screen.
Student
Cool, that’s great! Too bad I cannot do this from home.
Librarian
But you can. All of the library’s databases and electronic sources can be accessed through any
computer connected to the work.
Student
Really?! I can’t believe I didn’t know that. It still sounds like it’s going to take a while though, you
know, going through all of that information, all of those sources.
Librarian
Maybe, but you already narrow your search down to article
