Thing #3 - The Tour

powered by ODEO

Your library is lots of things including books, magazines, newspapers, computers, and online databases, but did you know you can also borrow a laptop and find map collections?

For this exercise, you'll need a University Library Self-Guided Walking Tour (available at the Reference desk on the lower mall). Grab one and follow the steps. Sorry, no snacks provided.

As you take the tour, you can complete those questions from Thing #2 that require you to flip through a book or two. Just don't forget to post all the answers to your blog.

After the tour, create another post (and remember it helps me lots if you follow the number scheme, so calling it "Thing 3" is very kind!) and answer the following questions:

1. Why do you think the library is arranged the way it is? If you were the library building planner, how would you organize the collection?
2. What are the most useful services the library has to offer students?
3. Where, in your estimation is the best library bathroom located? (It's always good to know this sort of thing)
4. If you wanted to take an undisturbed nap in the library, where would you go?
5. What part of the library, in your opinion, offers the best view?

You're done!
