Play, awareness mark Day 1 of LibQuest
LibQuest-2019, the first-ever season of the library events, was organised by Bennett University to celebrate the campus learning centre on September 23, Monday. Libraries aren’t the place where students socialize. So, to make it interesting, the librarians of the university assembled a quiz for the first-year students to introduce them to the Learning Resource Centre (LRC).

The quiz was conducted in the lecture hall where on-the-spot registrations took place. About 70 first-year students participated in the quiz and the small games held afterward. “The quiz is designed to have fun along with effectively learning about the resources, services, and facilities available in the LRC for day-to-day academic support,” said Triya Gulati, Member of LibQuest Organising Team and Vice President of Bennett University.

The students were required to explore the official website of the library and be acquainted with the relevant news around the world for the quiz. The quiz was conducted on smartphones using Mentimeter’s Quiz feature. Hosting a live quiz kept the audience active and created a friendly aura.

The leader board was projected on a screen which created a sense of competition. The fastest and correct answers were awarded the most points. The winner of LibQuest Day 1 Quiz was Ritik Gupta, first-year BTech CSE with a score of 25,635 points. Daksh J and Sunisth Kumar were the runners-up in the quiz. The top three scorers were rewarded with Emerald Publishing gift hampers.

After the hampers were rewarded, Sanjay Kataria, University Librarian addressed the participants and said, “We wanted to create awareness about the system of Learning Resource Centre available for the welfare of students of the university. LibQuest is an experiment to bring alive the LRC system. This experiment has seemed to create a longing to learn more. I look forward to organizing more library-related events.”

The winners of the LibQuest Quiz Day 1 are qualified to compete in the Grand Finale, which will be held on September 26. The Grand Finale will constitute a fun-oriented game based on picture clue.
