Rationale 1: Although good study space may be at a premium, this is not the best first action.
Rationale 2: A tour of the library is helpful, but the researcher needs a tour guide.
Rationale 3: This is the first step to take. The librarian can save the researcher valuable time and make the researcher more comfortable in the environment.
Rationale 4: Card catalogs are now generally online, not a physical feature of the library.
