This is exactly the type of resource librarians need to guide their students in practicing using the online catalog. I appreciate the pre-written list of common winter subjects and how easily the specific books can be edited to reflect my library. I also love the inclusion of the location activity with the smaller slips of paper - saves paper and encourages students to complete more than one search for practice. Only complaint: students need bigger spaces for the call number to be written. Also, while the box provided mirrors a spine label, the computer catalog displays the call number horizontally, so my students got confused. I am going to manually edit to make more space for students to record the call numbers and might change it to just a solid blank line.

LOVE the options and engaging way to practice what can, at times, be a boring lesson- searching in the catalog. Thank you for the multiple, fun ways to practice!
