The library's Citation Scavenger Hunt is available for students during October 2024. If you complete this activity it can count toward your university engagement assignment for GPS.
To begin, pick up a scavenger hunt worksheet from the Library Front Service Desk, on 5F North. Complete the worksheet by using citations to look for a library source, find a certain citation inside the source, and then look up that source in the library. Follow the chain of citations to complete the worksheet.
Submit completed worksheets in the drop box at the Library Front Service Desk. When you submit the worksheet you can ask for a certificate to show you participated in the hunt. You'll also be entered into a prize draw.
If you need help following citations, you can ask for help in the library.
