We started in the computer lab. Matthew showed us the catalog on the Library Website and explained the difference between Basic Search and Advanced Search. It was really helpful to be led through the steps of searching online.
Next, we each searched the catalog for a book of our own choice (by title or by subject), and wrote down the call number. Some of us used our phones to take a picture of the call number on the computer screen. Matthew then led us to the Young Adult section were we could search for our books. It was difficult at first, but we all finally found our books! Kyung Jin was first to find her book -- good job! She said that the library system in Korea is the same as the U.S. so she was familiar with the process. It is still good practice for all of us as everything is in English.

After we all located our books, Matthew brought us back to the computer lab to search the catalog for DVDs. Abdul suggested we look up the movie "Troy" so we all searched that on the catalog together. Once we found Troy together, everyone searched another DVD. Most of us searched by title. Again, with call numbers in hand, we went back to the shelves. Everyone was a lot quicker to locate their DVD this time.
