This article was a short but potent reminder of all the excuses that student use to procrastinate and avoid using their library. I think that this would be a great article for everyone to have printed off and posted behind the main desk at a library. It is easy to forget what challenges and inhibits an open relationship between the librarians and students, so an occasional reminder would be a great idea. Sometime I think we tend to spend too much time thinking about developing/re-shelving our collection and bags of trick, and then forget about doing the things that make the library an inviting environment to DO the research that with the tools that we strive to make available!
