    • There are 3 questions at the end of the scavenger hunt asking about what you learned and what questions you still have.

During the Scavenger Hunt, you will be:

  • Exploring the library's building with your group and taking selfies around the library. 
    • Please be courteous to those who are using the library for studying and school work. Do not disturb others to get that 'perfect shot'. 
  • Answering questions about the library and the resources found within.
    • If you are stuck and not sure where to find an answer, look at the "Library Building" and "Library Online" tabs.  These will provide tips and hints to help you answer the scavenger hunt questions. 
    • Additional resources will also be located within these tabs, so check them out!
    • If you are still stuck or if something is not working, please reach out to the librarian. 
  • Searching the library's website. 
    • The library's website is home to the library's catalog (where you can find available books), databases (where you can search for academic articles), guides (like this one, which provide information and assistance), and more. 
  • Having fun while you learn about the library.
    • Be creative with your photos and have fun!  Find new areas and spaces within the library and learn what is available for you to use during your time at DWU.
