Has anyone done a grab bag OPAC searching event? (What I mean by this would be
having a jar at the circulation desk, the students take a question on a slip of
paper out of the jar, use the OPAC to answer the question, and then they get a
prize when they answer correctly.) I'm looking for searches that would get at
things that a high schooler would find interesting. If yes, do you have a
document with questions that might be used that you would share?
Here is what I have come up with so far. (The answer is in parentheses):
1. What is Saint Iggy’s last name? (Corso)
