Using gamification such as quizzes and activities, students will become familiar with core services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why should students complete LibQuest?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A study by the University of Huddersfield showed a statistically significant association between library resource use and student attainment. It showed that\u00a0students\u2019 believe that individual qualities and referral to resources contribute to a higher degree outcome (Stone and Ramsden, 2013).<\/p>\n<p>There is increasing evidence supporting the notion that traditional approaches provided during the induction process fail to convey to students the importance of the library to their future academic achievement (Bickley and Corrall, 2011). Interactive games,\u00a0used for educational purposes with a specific learning outcome,\u00a0can support a student\u2019s learning and influence their motivation to use their university library.<\/p>\n<p>Game based learning can offer new students a positive and enjoyable first experience of the academic library setting.\u00a0 The purpose of library orientation is to educate and create awareness into how the library operates for first time students, offering them a fun but positive impression of an academic setting (Igun and Adogbeji, 2006).\u00a0Game based learning has many academic benefits and can increase student engagement, motivation and greater learning.\u00a0Charles\u00a0<em>et al.<\/em>\u00a0(2011)<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>stated that students who use gamification during their academic year appear more motivated and have an improved attendance and participation record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can students complete LibQuest?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LibQuest can be accessed at:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.tees.ac.uk\/libquest\">https:\/\/libguides.tees.ac.uk\/libquest<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Students take part in an interactive Sway quest, through which they explore library facilities and learn about the support available to help them succeed in their\u00a0academic studies.<\/p>\n<p>The content can also be referred back to and caters for a variety of learning styles, thus helping reinforce learning.<\/p>\n<p>Please encourage students to participate both over the vacation and at the start of Semester 2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bickley, R., and Corrall, S.
