Orientation SCAVENGER HUNT

In groups no larger than three, work to complete the following questions designed to build your familiarity with the library and the resources it offers. If at any point you get stuck, please raise you hand. You will have to work QUICKLY and EFFICIENTLY to complete this. Thank you!

    Library Orientation SCAVENGER HUNT

    Ask Ms. Brockman
    In some cases, like with ProQuest, it will be both your login AND your password
    You're looking for websites that generate citations for you or give you examples to model.
    (If there is a subject you would like to see covered that is not, please submit a suggestion in the "other" option)
    You do not HAVE to answer this one; we want real suggestions only :)
    You will use this same topic throughout this survey today; it may have been assigned to you, otherwise you may SELF select.
    HINT: you may want to use the "Browse Topics" tab to find "portals" rather than jus the search window. The URLS you will need to copy do NOT come from the web browser bar, you need to copy them from the "BOOKMARK" option
    Without taking too long on this, please be thoughtful and critical. (Consider the time it took in each individual search to find something usable...) The "CRAAP" test is described on the "Source Evaluation" page that drops down from the "RESEARCH" tab.
    The library catalog is a desktop icon on every library desktop computer; it can also be found at pv.follettdestiny.com (then select our school).
    GO FIND this actual book and take a picture of the index.
    Max file size: 20MB
    This image can be uploaded, or emailed to brockmana@pvpusd.net, or tweeted or instagrammed to @PVHS_Library (there are more image uploads to come, you can email them all in one bulk email, or (if you have time) collage them together on your device and tweet or instagram them)
    GO FIND this actual book and take a picture of the index (or if no index, the entry page for a relevant entry, i.e. "Dust Bowl")
    Max file size: 20MB
    This image can be uploaded, or emailed to brockmana@pvpusd.net, or tweeted or instagrammed to @PVHS_Library (there are more image uploads to come, you can email them all in one bulk email, or (if you have time) collage them together on your device and tweet or instagram them)

    (It is very important that you complete this survey, but if you don't know something that's all right. This is a PRE assessment to see where you are right now with your research skills; if there's something you don't know, take a best guess and move on. Do your best, but DO NOT LABOR over this. Should not take more than 15-20 minutes.) THANK YOU!!! [Nothing to submit below]
