As a librarian, I am always asking questions of my patrons to help them to develop an inquiring mind. The students must learn how to logically think about their research projects and what type of resources will best fit their end goal in writing a research paper. This means I need to help them by asking questions of them about the resources that they are using. Is Wikipedia, the best resource to use for a college research paper? How, do they know that the website that they found is accurate? How, do would you find a resource in the library, or on its website? I am always asking these questions and I feel they really help students to understand where the best information can be found. It also helps them become lifelong learners.
