As part of the University of Cincinnati’s New Student Orientation, which ran through August 2, 2007, Langsam Library played host for a game that informed incoming students about key library resources and services. To play the library game, students visited stations within the categories of “Get Plugged In,” “Create an Impression,” and “Make the Grade.” They participated in fun and interactive activities such as getting their pictures taken with a Bearcat, watching a video about the Student Technology Resources Center (STRC), quizzing a student library worker, and navigating the library Web site. The activities were designed to be entertaining while educating new students about the various resources and services available in the library. After completing the activities, the students filled out a game card. At the end of each day, a game card drawing was held and the winners received flash drives. Over 4,000 incoming students participated in New Student Orientation and visited Langsam Library this summer. |
