This scavenger hunt is meant as a basic introduction to the library services --both online and off-- that you will be using over the next five years. You will be given a quiz grade for the activity, but remember that the goal is for you to explore and get familiar with resources so you can make better choices when research projects come up in any of your classes.
Record your answers on a separate sheet of paper or print this page to write on. You do not have to work on the questions in order. If you see lots of students in a particular area, move on to the next question. Please remember to work respectfully! On the Library Floor:1. Politely introduce yourself to one or both of our library staff members. List both their names. 2. Browse through the biography section and list one title you’d like to read. (List one for each partner.) 3. In the Reference area, locate the set of books with the Dewey number 780 CON. List one artist you like and the volume number in which he or she appears. 4. List three of our magazine titles? 5. Browse through the fiction section and find the books with authors who share your last initial. List one title by that author. Using the computers with Internet and catalog access, answer the following: 1. What are our normal library hours? 2. What is the URL (Internet address) for the Library's Main Page? 3. From the Destiny Online Catalog, find a book on any of the following topics and copy the call number. Can you tell if it is available?
4. List four different databases included in EBSCOhost (in Catalogs and Databases).
