Working as both one large group and a series of smaller teams,\u00a0the staff and faculty involved in the project met over the course of several months to craft a video game experience that would teach the basics about our library as well as entertain and challenge students new to campus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project relied on extensive teamwork, a variety of talents, and took full advantage of the current zombie craze.\u00a0 It is a pleasure and privilege to work with such an imaginative and team-oriented group of librarians,\u201d Liedtka said.<\/p>\n<p>Employees from the Lupton Library who helped on the project included Andrea A.
