WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? SUNY Delhi wanted to create a new library
tour for new student orientation and freshman seminar classes.
Old tour was boring for students AND librarians

SOLUTION Create a scavenger hunt where students will
work in teams in order to orient themselves to the library resources.

LIBRARY TOUR NEEDS Orient students to the Resnick Library and
Learning Center Group based and active Able to scale for large and small groupsCover the same talking points as the
traditional tourCreate opportunities for students to get
“face time” with multiple librarians and staff members
Scale for both short and longer amounts of time

DEVELOPING THE HUNT What are other libraries doing?
Found multiple examples of non-traditional library tours. QR codes Video tours Self guided walk-arounds Scavenger hunts
North Carolina State University has a mobile scavenger hunt
that was used as a template for the Resnick Scavenger hunt.

RESNICK HUNT VS UCSU
Uses Twitter and student owned smart phones to submit answers
Has students use Evernote and library owned iPod touches to submit answers
Scores kept in real time using google spread sheets
Scores kept in real time using google spread sheets
Faculty have a variety of different discipline focused scavenger hunts to choose from
Faculty can request one standard scavenger hunt for their students
Two librarians – one on-site and the other online keep score and interact with students
One librarian facilitates the scavenger hunt
Librarians meet with faculty after the scavenger hunt to discuss results
Unsure what UCSU follow-up is
Team based Team based

DEVELOPING QUESTIONS… FOR DIFFERENT
DISCIPLINES
Since starting the basic scavenger hunt we have also added options for Veterinary science, Nursing and Culinary students.
![Page 15: F LIPPING THE F IRST Y EAR E XPERIENCE : U SING MOBILE SCAVENGER HUNTS TO ORIENT STUDENTS TO LIBRARY RESOURCES Presented by Jennifer Collins Reference.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649d8e5503460f94a76bf2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SOME EARLY ISSUES… Students had trouble signing onto twitter Students had issues getting into group Students had difficulty formatting questions correctly
(@resnicklibrary Question #: Answer) In large groups it was hard for a single librarian
facilitator to track student answers, correct false answers and offer further information and interactive feed back to students
![Page 16: F LIPPING THE F IRST Y EAR E XPERIENCE : U SING MOBILE SCAVENGER HUNTS TO ORIENT STUDENTS TO LIBRARY RESOURCES Presented by Jennifer Collins Reference.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649d8e5503460f94a76bf2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SO…. Another librarian, based online, was brought
on to work in tandem with on-sight facilitator
![Page 17: F LIPPING THE F IRST Y EAR E XPERIENCE : U SING MOBILE SCAVENGER HUNTS TO ORIENT STUDENTS TO LIBRARY RESOURCES Presented by Jennifer Collins Reference.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649d8e5503460f94a76bf2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
EVERYONE LOVES A GOOD TUTORIAL! A power point tutorial was created to be
shown at the beginning of each scavenger hunt session.
Teams were also required to post a “test tweet” and could only begin the hunt once they had received a
successful reply tweet from the online facilitator.
![Page 18: F LIPPING THE F IRST Y EAR E XPERIENCE : U SING MOBILE SCAVENGER HUNTS TO ORIENT STUDENTS TO LIBRARY RESOURCES Presented by Jennifer Collins Reference.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649d8e5503460f94a76bf2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SOME THINGS WE’VE DISCOVERED What faculty prioritize for students to learn from the
tour is often different from what the librarians prioritize.
No matter how many points we award for the reference section question students rarely answer it.
The questions students answer tend to dove tail with our statistics about the library services they use most often.
Students sometimes come up with infinitely creative answers.
![Page 19: F LIPPING THE F IRST Y EAR E XPERIENCE : U SING MOBILE SCAVENGER HUNTS TO ORIENT STUDENTS TO LIBRARY RESOURCES Presented by Jennifer Collins Reference.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649d8e5503460f94a76bf2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SOME IDEAS FOR ASSESSMENT
Offer a pre test and post test on library resources.
Try and track freshman seminar students who did the hunt and see if they return for reference sessions.
