Why Make A Resource Together?
Each activity looked at a different resource on the Library Intranet site
• E-resources such as Ebrary and Infotrac
• The Library Catalogue• Journals
Not subject specific
Could be used in classroom, but also externally, or in the Library itself
Used audio and written instructions.
The Good Bits…
• Information Literacy• Research Skills• ‘Compare and contrast’
• Team loved inventing characters
• Brought the team together
• Was cheap to produce
