Library sessions are always useful, but this one in particular took the win. Gail started out by telling us that to keep us interested we were going to play a game. The game consisted of giving us small sheets of paper that had instructions on them, following the instructions and then returning the sheets back to Gail to see if they were correct or not. We worked in teams and together we learned about how to properly cite sources, give brief summaries of them and discover the background of each sources authors.

Although the session was very informative, it was also fun. Since we were in groups of two there was a level of competition between all of us that was very apparent. We would hurry to figure out the best way to describe the abstract of an article to beat the team next to us. Then we would work to research where the article came from and whether it was a scholarly or informational piece of literature. Without realizing it, we were learning integral tools about annotated bibliographies that would help us to construct the one for this class and future research essays that we would embark on in college. Thanks Gail!
