LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Searching scholarly databases, using Zotero to save and manage sources, correcting citations, assessing relevance GAME GOALS: Players tag other players’ sources with keywords and rate their credibility and relevance. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Assessing relevance and credibility, tagging sources for subject content, editorial process, and publication type GAME GOALS: Players build their final bibliography using each source’s tags and ratings as a guide. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Assessing relevance, being exposed to more sources than one would find on one's own, compiling an annotated bibliography of sources linked to full texts GAME GOALS: After game play ends, all players can access everyone’s sources, including tags and ratings. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Reassessing one's chosen sources after outlining and drafting one's paper, being exposed to more sources than one would find on one's own Timeline of Librarian Involvement Before Class Begins In-class #1 In-class #2 During Game Play • Recruit faculty who give students research-and-writing assignments • Advise faculty on synchronizing their syllabus with BiblioBouts game play • Test proposed research topics • Demonstrate library portal and relevant databases • Show students how to search databases • Help students register in Zotero • Walk through saving their online sources in Zotero • Help students register in BiblioBouts • Demonstrate BiblioBouts to students • Troubleshoot and answer questions Support faculty in-class discussions on scholarly information, technical reading, credibility and relevance, author expertise, formulating a paper topic, correcting citations, etc. info@bibliobouts.org Supported by an IMLS National Leadership Grant
