We’ll be visiting our first USTU class today to introduce the iPod tour\/zombie game, so we may start seeing students as early as this afternoon. As a reminder of what we’re up to, students are doing the following:<\/p>\n
1. Checking out an iPod at Circ (or viewing on their own device via UTC Library YouTube channel)<\/p>\n
2. Taking a walking tour of the library<\/p>\n
3. Playing our video game on one of the wing PCs behind the reference desk (Nightmare on Vine St \/ Xbox controller icon on the desktop)<\/p>\n
Folks on the ref desk may need to help students figure out how to open the game. Students just need to double-click the Nightmare on Vine St icon — we’ve noticed that the program may generate an error if it’s dozen-clicked, or tried to open too many times. PC volume is located in the lower-right corner of the desktop and should be un-muted so students can plug in their headphones and hear the game.<\/p>\n
After students have completed the game, we ask if they have any questions about the library and give them a certificate that they take to class to receive credit for this activity. I will try to keep a stack of certificates at the desk, but they are located here if you need to print some on the quick: S:LibraryUSTU iPod ToursFall 2012 – “completion certificate.”<\/p>\n
