The lectures, one of 2017 library E-resources promotion activities, aim to help teachers and students to gain a better understanding of library database resources and conduct academic research with the databases YSU bought, which is a good way to increase utilization of E-resources and improve library service.
The lectures were supported by all schools in terms of participation and venue arrangement, and praised by participants through questionnaire feedback. In addition, teachers and students gave suggestions to the library, including: covering more databases in future lectures, using a variety of promotion methods, and providing better services and support, which will drive the library to work better for the teachers and students.
