Saint Xavier Library Director Mark Vargas extended the invitation to the students’ English teacher, Ms. Jean Swiecicki, who had been in search of a library for the students to conduct introductory research techniques. Tasks included created a question about a topic, planning a strategy of which sources to use, gathering and organizing information, and citing sources.
