With our zombie game out to pasture, Reference and Instruction has a new activity for USTU students that goes live today. Here are the assignment details:<\/p>\n

1. Students receive a librarian visit and a worksheet with their assignment details (example at Ref Desk)<\/p>\n

2. Students view a playlist of videos on our YouTube channel (youtube.com\/utclib; no more iPod). It’s a mystery\/paranormal theme where they are given clues to find a book<\/p>\n

3. Students come to the library with their clues to find the mystery book<\/p>\n

4. Once successful, students come to the Ref Desk with the title of the mystery book written on their sheet — we fill out, sign, and give them a certificate that they take to class for credit (copies available at the desk; file available on S:LibraryUSTU iPod ToursFall 2013 and on the Ref PCs’ desktops).<\/p>\n

The answer is a mocked-up book called Scrappy Hollow<\/em> in the reference collection. Students’ clues make up the call number REF BF1450 .C45 L66 2010<\/strong>. It’s very possible that students may not “get it” and show up at the desk for help — a great opportunity to say hello and explain how things are organized at the library. If you notice a lot of clueless students, please let Virginia or Bo know.<\/p>\n
