The Amazing Race at the Walker Library will take place from November 8-12, with students competing through 5 stages to complete the race. Students must visit locations online and in the library, keeping clue cards from each stage. The winner will be randomly selected from successful racers and announced on November 15th. Library staff should direct student questions to the race website rather than providing clues directly.

The Walker Library Amazing Race 2010 starts Monday, November 8, at 7.30 am
and runs through Friday, November 12, 4.30 pm.
The race starts at the Reference desk and ends at Circulation.
You don’t have to engage students about your area, but try to be welcoming and
positive.
The winner will be announced on Monday the 15th on Facebook at 9am. Students
will need to friend us on Facebook. Our Facebook identity is James E. Walker Li-
brary (MTSU). (We will also email the winner.)
The winner will be chosen at random from all successful entries.
Students must participate in each stage of the race, and should keep their clue
cards from each stage in order to answer a few questions at the last stage. This is
to help ensure a fair race.
Students will compete in 5 stages and will visit locations online and in the library.
You should not answer any race questions for students. You might get IM or desk
requests about Interlibrary loan, requesting a new book or searching for a book on
InfoSearch. Ask them if they are doing the Amazing Race and direct them instead
to the website. We have very clear directions on the clues, so there is no reason
students shouldn’t be able to do this alone. Make sure student workers know this
too!
Student workers can participate, but they should not look at the clue cards in ad-
vance (they have to do each step, so it is not a huge deal if they see the clue for
their area)
Each desk will have the key phrase that students will say to get the next clue and
the clues delivered on Monday morning. We will circulate regularly to make sure
you have plenty of copies.
