Unlike more traditional cultures with strong extended family and long-term relationships, friendships are made and lost readily here. So
16、me might find Americans 2 and even selfish. However. it is possible to make close relationshipsit is just more difficult, depending on where you live. Social relationships in the US, 3 , revolve around one“s career arid hobbies, one“s 4 and one“s cultural background. In the large cities and towns, t

If you love to read books or watch films, for example, there are a number of clubs in large
18、 cities catering to these interests. If you like nature, you can join hiking clubs or environmental 7 . Good ways to meet Americans include sports and 8 clubs, i.e. tennis clubs, children“s sports like Little League, joining the PTA at your children“s school or 9 at your children“s school or church.

Studen
26、ts rarely ask librarians for help, even when they need it. This is one of the sobering (令人警醒的) truths the librarians have learned over the course of a two-year, five-campus ethnographic (人种学的) study examining how students view and use their campus libraries. The idea of a librarian as an academic ex
27、pert who is available to talk about assignments and hold their hands through the research process is, in fact, foreign to most students. Those who even have the word “librarian“ in their vocabularies often think library staff are only good for pointing to different sections of the stacks. B. The ERI
28、AL (Ethnographic Research in Illinois Academic Libraries) project contains a series of studies conducted at Illinois Wesleyan, DePaul University, and Northeastern Illinois University, and the University of Illinois“s Chicago and Springfield campuses. Instead of relying on surveys, the libraries incl
29、uded two anthropologists (人类学家), along with their own staff members, to collect data using open-ended interviews and direct observation, among other methods. The goal was to generate data that, rather than being statistically significant yet shallow, would provide deep, subjective accounts of what s
30、tudents, librarians and professors think of the library and each other at those five institutions. C. The most alarming finding in the ERIAL studies was perhaps the most predictable: when it comes to finding and evaluating sources in the Internet age, students are extremely Internet-dependent. Only
31、7 out of 30 students whom anthropologists observed at Illinois Wesleyan “conducted what a librarian might consider a reasonably well-executed search,“ wrote Duke and Andrew Asher, an anthropology professor at Bucknell University, who led the project. D. Throughout the interviews, students mentioned
32、Google 115 timemore than twice as many times as any other database. The prevalence of Google in student research is well-documented, but the Illinois researchers found something they did not expect: students were not very good at using Google. They were basically clueless about the logic underlying
33、how the search engine organizes and displays its results. Consequently, the students did not know how to build a search that would return good sources. “I think it really exploded this myth of the “digital native“,“ Asher said. “Just because you“ve grown up searching things in Google doesn“t mean yo
34、u know how to use Google as a good research tool.“ E. Even when students turned to more scholarly resources, it did not necessarily solve the problem. Many seemed confused about where in the constellation (云集) of library databases they should turn to locate sources for their particular research topi
35、c: Half wound up misusing databases a librarian “would most likely never recommend for their topic.“ For example, “Students regularly used JSTOR, the second-most frequently mentioned database in student interviews, to try to find current research on a topic, not realizing that JSTOR does not provide
36、 access to the most recently published articles.“ Unsurprisingly, students using this method got either too many search results or too few. Frequently, students would be so discouraged that they would change their research topic to something that requires a simple search. F. “Many students described
37、 experiences of anxiety and confusion when looking for resourcesan observation that seems to be widespread among students at the five institutions involved in this study,“ Duke and Asher wrote. There was just one problem, Duke and Asher noted: “Students showed an almost complete lack of interest in
38、seeking assistance from librarians during the search process.“ Of all the students they observedmany of whom struggled to find good sources, to the point of despairnot one asked a librarian for help. G. In a separate study of students at DePaul, Illinois-Chicago, and Northeastern Illinois, other ERI
39、AL researchers deduced several possible reasons for this. The most basic was that students were just as unaware of the extent of their own information illiteracy as everyone else. Some others overestimated their ability or knowledge. Another possible reason was that students seek help from sources t
40、hey know and trust, and they do not know librarians. Many do not even know what the librarians are there for. Other students imagined librarians to have more research-oriented knowledge of the library but still thought of them as glorified ushers. H. However, the researchers did not place the blame
41、solely on students. Librarians and professors are also partially to blame for the gulf that has opened between students and the library employees who are supposed to help them, the ERIAL researchers say. Instead of librarians, whose relationship to any given student is typically ill-defined, student
42、s seeking help often turn to a more logical source: the person who gave them the assignmentand who, ultimately, will be grading their work. Because librarians hold little sway with students, they can do only so much to reshape students“ habits. They need professors“ help. Unfortunately, faculty may
43、have low expectations for librarians, and consequently students may not be connected to librarians or see why working with librarians may be helpful. On the other hand, librarians tend to overestimate the research skills of some of their students, which can result in interactions that leave students
44、 feeling intimidated and alienated (疏远的). Some professors make similar assumptions, and fail to require that their students visit with a librarian before carrying on research projects. And both professors and librarians are liable to project an idealistic view of the research process onto students w
45、ho often are not willing or able to fulfill it. I. By financial necessity, many of today“s students have limited time to devote to their research. Showing students the pool and then shoving them into the deep end is more likely to foster despair than self-reliance. Now more than ever, academic libra
46、rians should seek to “save time for the reader“. Before they can do that, of course, they will have to actually get students to ask for help. “That means understanding why students are not asking for help and knowing what kind of help they need,“ say the librarians. J. “This study has changed, profo
47、undly, how I see my role at the university and my understanding of who our students are,“ says Lynda Duke, an academic librarian at Illinois Wesleyan. “It“s been life-changing, truly.“（分数：71.00）(1).None of the students observed in the ERIAL project asked a librarian for help when searching resources
