library services
The fun way
Asma’a S. Assim

2. Traditional or Online?
• Create questions
• Type on a sheet
• Type answers – cut - distribute
• Print copies
• Paper waste
• No toner
• Printer not working
• Tired of all this, what shall I do?
• Here’s an idea
• Create an online scavenger Hunt
• But how do I do that?

3. My PI Online Scavenger Hunt
• Many sources available on the
web to create online scavenger
hunt
• 1. Actionbound
• 2. Goosechase
• 3. Scavify
• And many more
• Or you can create your own
• For our library I used Dreamweaver to
create scavenger Hunt
• Students will come to the library
• Scan a QR Code
• And start the game
• Students should answer a
question to be able to move to
the next
• Each question is related to one
part, service or resource of the
library

4. The Hunt starts from here
• Check it out
• All you need to do is download a QR
Code free App on your mobile
• Scan the QR Code
• And start the fun & learn journey

5. Hope you enjoyed the adventure
