Course Instructors and FIG PAs:
The MU Libraries would like to invite all course instructors to incorporate the Library's Online Scavenger Hunt Activity into their class syllabi as a mandatory activity. An early introduction to the library helps students understand that the library is there for them and it has both online and onsite resources that students may not have experienced in their high school libraries. We can help you achieve your goal of ensuring a smooth transition from high school to college and introducing students to skills and habits which foster their academic success.
The library offers a number of other Learning Modules which you may want to consider as well, pertaining to library resources, information literacy concepts, and more.
These are intended for:
(1) the self-guided learner exploring the MU Libraries online and information literacy concepts.
(2) instructors who wish to assign these learning modules to their students to help them in the course and in their academic careers.
This activity should take you approximately 20 minutes. It is designed to be completed remotely so you do not have to come to the physical space of library. You can join the hunt on your computer or tablet device (devices like smartphones with small screens not recommended). Go to: http://library.missouri.edu/ScavengerHunt Or,
Alert! If you do not receive a completion email, please check for the email in your 'junk mail' or 'Spam" folder. If do not find the completion email anywhere, contact the E-Learning Librarian, khanaln@missouri.edu.
The goal of this activity is to acquaint you with library spaces and services while decreasing your library anxiety. Additionally, by completing this activity, we hope your will understand, prefer, and be committed to the value of using library resources for academic inquiry.
