Shoutout to the librarian who showed me how to search databases properly

I used to just Google everything for research papers and hope for the best. Last semester a librarian at my local branch spent 20 minutes walking me through academic databases like JSTOR. Now I can find actual peer reviewed articles instead of random blog posts. Has anyone else had a librarian totally change how you do research?

@wright.lisa that matches my experience too, that librarian really turned my grades around.

I saw a study that said students who use databases get way better grades.
