Play it, learn it, make it last: Using gaming to create self-sufficient library information users

Greenawalt, Lindsay M.; Koehn, Michael D.; Knieper, Sharon; Meret, Anca O.; Robinson, Eugene G.

We created and piloted an interactive web-based game intended to enable incoming students to become self-sufficient through hands-on learning. The library chose a gaming model with the expectation that competition, rewards, and novelty would function as powerful tools when used to engage students.
