Library Scavenger Hunt Group I:_________________________________________________________
Complete these steps in order, as a group. Be the first group to find me at Ovids with all correct
answers and win (X) bonus points on your rhetorical analysis paper!
1. Find the book with call number HD 9696.8 .U64 F335 2010. Write down the complete title, author,
publisher, city of publication, and year of publication.
2. Open to page 29 and write down the first complete sentence on the page.
3. Go to the Reference shelves and find an MLA Handbook (Call number LB2369 .G53 2009). Prepare
an MLA citation for the quote you wrote down in the last question.
4. Go to the fifth floor and find the section of government documents that houses Congressional
Records. Reading government document call numbers can be tricky, but these documents can be very
valuable for research in many fields. Find this call number and take the document with you to the next
question: Y 4.In 8/13:94-30.
5. Run down to the Circulation Desk and check out your document from the last question and a Study
Room Key. Hold onto it and bring it to me at the end.

On which floor and wall (North, South, East, or West) of the library will you find the periodicals desk?
7. Snap a picture of a microfilm reader with your phone.
8. Take a walking break. Go to the Core 1 stairs, what do you see out the window?
9. Log on to a computer on the third floor. Find the call number for the academic journal Journal of
Applied Psychology (a periodical) and write it down. Go to the stacks and write down the year for the
first issue we have, and the year for the last issue we have.

Find the A/V lab with DVDs and Laptops to check out. You decide you would rather use iMovie
to complete the editing for your documentary, so you stay in the Mac Lab. How many Macs are there?
