Discovery Task #2 Website Scavenger Hunt

Task #2 requires you to scavenge the library's website to find information and resources.  Everyone who works for the library should be expertly familiar with the website and where to locate information. Take a tour of the website before you take the quiz by exploring each of the library's tabs and subsequent pages.


Post your results on your blog and detail one or two new pieces of information that you learned as a result of your website tour.  Watch out for #10--it's a doozie :)

p.s. If you happen to find any broken links, misspellings or have questions about something that is confusing, be sure and email Cari. We always strive to improve the website.
