College students, would you pay for this service?
I'm thinking about starting a service for college students in my area. I want to offer library research help for students who struggle with research or who are just confused about their library. I plan to consult with the student and help with database/online research and article copying if needed. The service will be similar to a research assistant for a professor but available to students. As a college student, would you be interested in something like this and if so, how much would you be open to paying per hour?

No, I would not pay for such a service due to the fact that every college I attended (I attended three; each in different states) required Library Orientation where you learned how to find Articles in the Library and on the website, as well as a Writing Resource Center that helped students with every step of the Research Process and do so free of charge. Why pay someone when I can get all of that for free?

No, schools employ research librarians for that exact reason. Most of the students struggling are just going to end up cheating instead of actually doing the work themselves or asking you to help them.

My university has that already for no hourly rate. Im assuming most do as well.
