Web-based Game for Teaching Library Research

In order to improve undergraduates' library research skills, Karen Markey, School of Information, created an online game entitled "Bibliobouts". This game takes students through different stages of the research process and enables them to receive feedback on their research techniques. This occurs both through accumulation of points throughout the game as well as conversations with instructors who can use the game to track the student's research process (which sources they considered, how they evaluated those sources, which sources they ultimately decided to use, etc.). For more information about this game, please visit http://bibliobouts.org/.
