Student Training
As a supervisor of students who work in both the Library and Writing Center, assisting the university community with their research, I think that it's important for these Peer Research Consultants to undergo year-long training and development.

Harry Potter Murder Mystery
In the summer of 2016, I designed a Harry Potter-themed murder mystery that served as an augmented reality tour and test of library resources for students during our "Welcome Week," the first week of the Fall Semester.

Beginning Handout
Students would begin with one of these handouts and would write their answers to the clues from the videos as they went along.

Sample Clue
As students went around the Library following clues, after downloading the Aurasma application and following the Libraries' page, they would hold their phones over a poster to trigger a clue video in the app. Here is a sample poster and the corresponding video that would show:
Final Clue Sheets
Once students successfully completed the video clues, they would receive a final answer sheet - a word search puzzle combining the answers they'd found through the tour/test of library resources and their knowledge of the books. There were three different puzzle sheets to avoid groups copying one another.
