LibrarySelfStudy

Copy and paste this self-study (aka treasure hunt) into a word file, insert your name into the file, then, in the left margin, insert the answer or check mark when you have completed any item or note the date that you intend to have completed the task.
At the end of the class session, submit the self-study by email to instructor after saving it as a pdf and including 692XY at the start of the name of the file, where XY are your initials; no spaces between 692 and XY.

Aim to visit the library instructional specialist and the instructor each at least once before 9pm. Don't hold back if there is another student already there--it is often the case that you can learn from how another student's problems are addressed.
At 9pm return to the main zoom for a review of your experience and QandA.

Before you start, close extraneous tabs and windows (e.g., your email) and open a new window (not a new tab) on your browser. Having the hangout and your self-study in different windows will make it easier to screenshare what you are seeing with the library instructional specialist and the instructor.

What are the three components, according to Peter Taylor, of sessions in which reference librarians introduce what the library and librarians have to offer?

• (Hint: paste central part of question, i.e., "sessions in which reference librarians introduce what the library and librarians have to offer" into google. If that doesn't work, email the author (i.e., Peter))

Note: Work on component 3 may come before work on component 2, and then you may go back and forward between the components
