Only a handful of times have I ever thought to refer a student to the library. I chose this article because it talks about collaboration between writing centers and libraries and how they can actually really help each other. The tutors of the writing center are told to teach students and point them in the right direction instead of just doing it for them. The library can greatly help with this principle especially if the student is working on a research paper. What would really be helpful is if the tutors knew more librarians and could call upon these people to tell them what went on during the session and books that may be helpful for the particular student. The article specifically says that the writing center and library have the same goal to assist students and by working together, both become stronger and more accessible to students.
