I thought this was possibly the most practically useful segment of 23 T's so far. I can see printing out almost every aspect of the Research Project Calculator for students in our local high school/middle school, as they come to us very unsure of how to get started on their projects and reports. As they progress, they often have huge issues with sources, proper citing, and organization of materials. I especially liked the emphasis on "reliable resources" and "ethical manner" of conducting research. These are sometimes so far from younger students' ken that they really have no clue what the phrases might mean in terms of what they are supposed to turn in at a prearranged date and time.I can see this being a HUGE help for any of us to use to help these patrons.
And speaking of time management--the assignment calculator slides right into place as a great tool for first-time term paper writers and grizzled library staff equally. Really helps map out a pace and a plan.
