  14. Insights About Teaching Faculty, cont’d. • Faculty in the BFR workshops and Laptop Bootcamps were very much interested in systems and utilities librarians already knew about: • Periodicals directory, WorldCat, Google, digital libraries, scholarly repositories, etc. • BFR workshop faculty participants saw the Internet as a viable scholarly resource. All one needed were keys to unlock materials. • BFR workshop faculty were open to thinking of Google Scholar as a scholarly resource for students. Some faculty were still skeptical of Wikipedia.
