Library Boot Camp: Getting Students in Shape for Library Research

 

Presented by:

  • Julie Piacentine, University of Chicago Library
  • Rebecca Starkey, University of Chicago Library
 

Description:

The University of Chicago Library created Library Boot Camp, a flexible and fast-paced undergraduate orientation program. Inspired by speed dating, the program offers five “information stations” where students learn about key library services and resources. Every eight minutes, our librarian “drill sergeant” blows a whistle, directing students to the next station. Feedback about program has been overwhelmingly positive, and the program has increased student attendance and engagement.
