Example: Usage Scenario Example: Usage Scenario Summary: Dr. Smith teaches an introductory course in the
History department. For the course research paper, he wants to point his students to scholarly resources available via the library, rather than have them use Google. Dr. Smith also wants his students to have easy access to reference librarians for research help, as well as understand the basics of plagiarism.
