Good morning, my name is Isabelle and I’m studying to be a library/government technician in the program information and library technologies. I have a lot of reasons to chose and recommend this glossary. First of all, this idea of a creation glossary is a very essential lifehack. It would bring lots of interest to the students who doesn't know the program and help them build lots of passion for the use of research and how to master the way of writing good biographies. The students build interest for the use of gaining knowledge for the purpose of curiosity. I'm almost in my third year and I'm doing my program in Maisonneuve college. It’s a very interesting program, it focuses on the knowledge and how to repair and find the right information using accurate research. In the field, you have to learn and apply many techniques for example, for repairing books that are damaged, there will be propre tools that should be applied and used. And thanks to the use of this glossary, it can help many people in this interesting field.
