Abstract

The librarians of the Weinberg Memorial Library developed and implemented a new library orientation program in only three short months. The library orientation, referred to as the Heritage Hunt, is an interactive scavenger hunt that was designed to reach the entire freshmen class. In this article, the  author discusses how the librarians managed to accommodate such a large number of students, why this program was developed, the difficulties that were experienced along the way, and plans for improvement based on the findings.
