Summary 
While it does have obvious limitations, 
the MAPIT and GETIT approach typically 
generates positive feedback from students 
and faculty alike. It seems to hit a middle 
ground, and almost everyone seems to 
learn something they didn’t know before 
class. At the very least, this approach gives 
students a framework upon which they can 
build as their research needs develop. Still, 
as it’s impossible to address every issue 
and answer every question in the time al­
lotted, it’s important to close every lecture 
by noting that a librarian is always the best 
resource for additional assistance whenever 
it’s needed.
