DAVID LEWIS: [in voice over] It's very different than the stereotypes that a lotta people have. If you were to go back ten-fifteen years, a lot of what librarians did was help people find the things that they needed, and it was the finding that was hard.

DAVID LEWIS: Part of what librarians do now is help people think about the information that they find.

DAVID LEWIS: [in voice over] Think about how to sort out what's good information, what's bad information, so a lot of it's critical thinking skills.
JAENA HOLLINGSWORTH: You're gonna choose several of these, okay? Okay, and then I want you to ... Yeah, exactly, make a list right there of the ones that you check off.

JAENA HOLLINGSWORTH: There used to be this idea that if we ... if we build it, if we house it, people will come to us and they'll ask us questions. And, um, so we just need to sit here and wait for them.

JAENA HOLLINGSWORTH: [in voice over] We've moved away from that, and more towards we need to explain to them why the resources that we have are important.

DAVID LEWIS: [in voice over] They sometimes say that the interent is like trying to drink from a firehose.

DAVID LEWIS: And part of what we're trying to do is teach people how to get at the things that they most need, and how to use it effectively.

JAENA HOLLINGSWORTH: [in voice over] Students are pretty comfortable sitting in front of a computer. They can type, they can use a mouse, things like that.

JAENA HOLLINGSWORTH: But when it comes to thinking critically about, sort of, where they're searching and why they're searching and what sort of keywords they're using ... um, a lotta times they're clueless.

JAENA HOLLINGSWORTH: [in voice over] There's so much stuff out there, and so many different ways to get to it, that you could waste a lot of time just sort of floundering around.
[cut to another man ("Denny Sponsel, RJE Business Interiors") speaking directly to the camera]
DENNY SPONSEL: Whether it's me as a leader of the organization wanting information, or whether it's a client wanting information, everyone wants it instantaneously. They don't have time for someone to navigate for three or four hours, they want it now, and it's available now if you know how to get to it.

DENNY SPONSEL: [in voice over] That's exactly what the program does.
[cut back to David speaking directly to the camera]
DAVID LEWIS: We currently reach somewhere in the neighborhood of seventeen thousand students a year in our current classroom facility, and we think we can up that number by eight thousand more if we have this additional capacity.
[cut back to Denny speaking directly to the camera]
DENNY SPONSEL: It doesn't do the university a lot of good if we're only affecting a little over half the student body. We need to affect more and more of the student body, because it's a critical skill that's needed.

DENNY SPONSEL: [in voice over] Not just for their education, but beyond their education, as they're gonna need it in the workplace.
