Excellent.  You are comfortable in the library. 
12-27 points: 
You are somewhat comfortable in the library, but you may need to learn a few new skills, such as how to work the microfiche machine.  Don’t fear asking librarians questions. 
7-11 points: 
You need to learn some library skills to make your college experience as good as it can be.  Talk to a librarian about any machine or technology that you aren’t sure about.  And remember: there are no dumb questions!]
