See Below

I still can't figure out what it means, so I am going to take it apart piece by piece.

"Relying on your past experience using libraries for yourself do you find yourself using a particular classification the more familiar you got with that collection the more comfortable your find yourself, maybe there is more than one collection for you?"

"Relying on your past experience using libraries for yourself..."

Okay, I got that. When I have used libraries before...

"do you find yourself using a particular classification..."

Like Dewey or Library of Congress, you mean? As I use a public library, it would have to be Dewey. I find myself using the Dewey classification system because that's all there is. But what if she means fiction or nonfiction? Still not sure.

"the more familiar you got with that collection the more comfortable your find yourself..."

The more comfortable your find yourself. First of all, it should be you. That drives me bonkers. I can't handle the typos!

So the more familiar I am with using it, the more comfortable I am. Makes sense.

"maybe there is more than one collection for you?"

Huh? Now we're talking about collections. Like fiction or fairy tales or romance. Did she mean to say earlier do I find myself using a particular collection, not classification? Because that would make a lot more sense. Even so, do I find myself using a collection and becoming more comfortable with it and maybe there is more than one collection for me?

I still don't get it.

Another example of a college question that's trying to over complicate something. Lovely. Just use the simple answer of "no." *chuckle*
