Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Abstract

Summary This article deals with the experience of the librarians at the Simmons College Libraries as they integrated active learning strategies into the library instruction program for first year students. Occurring over two semesters, students took self-guided tours of the library and played a game of library jeopardy in the fall, and participated in the research process during workshops in the spring. Research indicates that students who are active partners in the learning process increase their chances of retaining material. The librarians attempted to measure the success of the program through anecdotal evidence and reviews of students' research paper bibliographies.
