Searching for the "Right" Translation of an Ancient Work of Literature

Benefits of Technological vs. Traditional Presentation

Since most libraries now have only online catalogues, knowing how to use them is essential to finding a translation of an ancient literary work. The ability to access translations found at full-text websites allows a student with computer access to search and study-at any time of the day or night-without visiting a library in person.

Language Resource Center Usage

Seated at computers in a language resource center, students immediately practice the searching skills just taught by a librarian or the teacher (see above). They are able to access the full-text websites, and, if desirable and possible, print a text. Then, they carry out searches on any libraryıs catalog. Problems encountered can be discussed immediately and solved with the help of a teacher or librarian.

Note: Students often must pay a fee in order to use a language resource center.
