Narrator
Listen to part of a conversation in a library.
Librarian Good morning! Can I help you?
Student Good morning! I’m looking for a reference book.
Librarian OK. What kind of reference book?
Student A book related to my major.
Librarian Do you know the title?
Student Well, that’s the thing. I’m not exactly sure what I’m looking for.
Librarian That’s a problem.
Student Yeah, I just need a reference book to help me with the special difficulties.
Librarian OK, you can check what kind of book you want in our E-library.
Student Uh, let’s see...Would you,...would you like to show me how to use it?
Librarian OK, well, look, click here, you can find that these are guides to resources on topics that are of interest to the students. Each guide pulls together resources that are available throughout the library and those that can be obtained freely from the Internet, in a given subject area.
Student Then what resources can I access to in the E-library?
Librarian Databases, E-journals, print sources, microforms, audio-visual materials, etc.
Student That’s great.
Librarian Uh huh...These guides are targeted at specific information needs of various user groups in the university. For example, there are six to support our faculty and researchers in the School of Engineering; each tailor-made for each department of the School.
Student Great!
Librarian We also have guides for specific subjects, such as " Environment" and "Traditional Chinese Medicine". These are 3 of the topics that our university has selected as "high impact areas" and will place special research emphasis on.
Student Oh, that’s quite convenient. It’s easier for us to find the books we need quickly.
Librarian Yeah, ...These guides facilitate our users’ information search by directing them to the core sources and methods for locating materials. Usage statistics indicate that in November 2001 alone, these guides were accessed 25 090 times from on-campus locations. They are updated on an ongoing basis.
Student Yeah, OK. I am quite interested in business and management.
Librarian So you just look for your favorite sub-branches here. You see, here are sub-branches for: Company Information, Competitive Intelligence, Doing Business in China, E-commerce, Economic Indicators, Trends and Forecasts, etc.
Student There are so many!
Librarian Yeah, you just clink on them, and then you can find the books on these topics.
Student Yeah, I think I know how to use the E-library now, thanks a lot!
Librarian You’re welcome! You can read the E-book here in the library or go to the shelves to find the books you want and borrow them. I hope you can find your favorites.
Student OK, maybe it will take me some time, but it’s easier than searching for them on the shelves directly.
Librarian Yeah, it should be easier than that.
Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.
30. What does the student need from the library?
31. Where will the student and the librarian look for the information the student needs?
32. What can we infer from the titles the student was looking at?
33. What does the library NOT permit students to do?
Listen again to part of the conversation. Then answer the question.
Librarian
OK, you can check what kind of book you want in our E-library.
Student
Oh. Let’s see...Would you,.... would you like to show me how to use it?
34. What does the student mean when he says this?
Student
Oh. Let’s see...Would you...would you like to show me how to use it?
