1. Library QUEST 2014
Your quest is
to learn what a
modern library
is all about.
2. You have five tasks you must complete
to earn a LIBRARY MAVEN BADGE.
1. Find a book using the UCAT.
2. Track it down in the stacks.
3. Create a bibliographical citation for a works-cited
page for that book. Underneath that
write a short explanation of who wrote it and
why it is a good source.
4. Find a book by browsing through the stacks.
5. Scan a picture of a building, room, or garden
you would choose to write in.
3. Think of a place you have always wanted to visit. Using the UCAT (University
Catalogue), find a book about the architecture of that place. If you know of an
architect’s name, for example Gaudi and Barcelona, you can search by that too.
Quest Task 1: Using the Snipping Tool on your
menu, take a shot or two of the results. Play
with your document. See what you can do with
basic software.

Quest Task 3: Create a
bibliographical citation and
a short explanation of who
wrote it and why it is a good

space in which to write, draw, read,
create, and just think. Knowing what you
know about your own tastes, track down
a book that can fire your imagination.

north side of the DT Library. Wander
around and look for a book that has a
photograph, drawing, or plan for a place
where you would like to write.
Task 4
Quest Task 4: Write down the LCS call number.
