Library Icebreaker
|
| Description |
Librarians can flip key using-the-library talking points and engage students in discussion with this icebreaker activity. These questions address some of the top/most-frequently-pondered questions that first year students have about using the library.
Questions (can be adapted):
- What is Google Scholar?
- What if a book or article I need is not at Duke?
- Is there an easy way to cite & organize all my sources?
- Isn’t everything on Google?
|
| Steps |
- Pass index cards out (1 per row/3 students to a card)
- Ask students to discuss with their partner/group what they think the answer is to the question. Give them 1-2 minutes.
- Ask each group to state their question and answer to the class. Librarian can chime in with additional info/answers to the question.
