Ask-a-Librarian and ipl2

During any project/paper requiring students to do outside research, really push the idea of utilizing reference services.  Have students use the virtual reference services of Ask-a-Librarian (or other state's versions of virtual reference) and/or the ipl2.  It's important for students to learn how to research, but it's also important for them to know the tools they have at hand - the most important always being that of a librarian.
