Choose Your Own Adventure - Library Edition

You are a Lehman College student and your friend Serena recently had a baby. This is Serena’s first child and she has a lot of questions, including whether she should have her child vaccinated when the time comes for that. She’s heard that it might be dangerous but she’s also been told by her doctors that vaccines are safe and she herself was vaccinated. Serena knows that you’re a knowledgeable and inquisitive person - a Lehman College student - so she asks you what you think she should do. She texts you: "Hey, Can you help me figure out whether it's safe to get Jorge vaccinated? I know you're really great at learning things and I've got my hands full with work. Thanks!" "Absolutely. I'm on it," you text back. To begin helping Serena you [[Go to Google to get information about vaccines -- what they are and what the benefits and risks may be.]] [[Ask your friend Samir who is a biology major at Lehman what to do.]]

Page 2 Description: Searching the web is a good starting point. In the course of searching the web you come across the following video on Youtube: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3aNhzLUL2ys" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> You watch the video and check your knowledge by thinking about the following questions: <div id="form_83ef3f408fbb436f2e1d963e578bfc52"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://lehman.libwizard.com/form_loader.php?id=83ef3f408fbb436f2e1d963e578bfc52&noheader=1"></script> Seems like a good source! You share the video with Serena and text her the link to the video. She writes you back: “Thanks! But how do you know this is legit?” You realize you have to do some additional thinking to give your friend some good reasons to trust or not trust this video. Only then will she feel comfortable with the information you provide her. You decide to [[Google the phrase - evaluating information vaccines - to see if you can find something that will help you make an informed decision.]] [[Text your friend Samir who’s a biology major to see what he thinks about the video.]]

You email Samir and tell him what you're investigating: Are vaccines safe? Samir writes you back: "I'm only in my third year of the bio program. I've learned a lot so far (I'm even starting to think about Graduate School!), but I've only scratched the surface when it comes to vaccines. I'm definitely no expert! But you can find a lot of expert information using the Lehman Library Website. You can try searching the Library’s Onesearch, maybe for something like: vaccine safety. You want to use keywords, rather than trying to type in a question like you might in Google. I learned that at the library awhile back and will send you a video about it. Second, try a database called Gale Ebooks to get some background on vaccines and their safety. When you're ready to do that, let me know and I'll send you some more info about databases. Also, there’s a great librarian at Lehman who specializes in health sciences, but I can’t remember her name. Try to find and talk to her." You email Samir back with thanks and watch the video he sent you. Then you check your knowledge on the follow up quiz: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/c4WZoFSglEI" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> <div id="form_fcff59141402b1225f9b8e12e564a76c"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://lehman.libwizard.com/form_loader.php?id=fcff59141402b1225f9b8e12e564a76c&noheader=1"></script> Now that you know about keywords, you follow Samir's advice and: [[Search the Library’s Onesearch]] [[Try Gale Ebooks ]] [[Try to find and talk to Lehman's Health Sciences Librarian.]]

You text Samir that you're going to try Gale Ebooks. He writes you back: "Great choice! A database gathers information across many sources into one place so that you can search across that information and retrieve it. Check out the following for a quick explanation of why databases are really useful" <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q2GMtIuaNzU" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> You watch the video then answer the following questions to check your understanding: <div id="form_56346e5e92db592c3234ba20465e67c4"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://lehman.libwizard.com/form_loader.php?id=56346e5e92db592c3234ba20465e67c4&noheader=1"></script> You go to the library's website and click on the Databases tab in the search area of the page. You then click on the <a href=https://libguides.lehman.edu/az.php target="_blank">link that says "Browse Databases A-Z"</a>. "Wow," you think. "The library has over 250 different databases!" You find Gale Ebooks on the list and see that it has information from encyclopedias and other general information sources. When you get to the database and open it using your CUNYfirst credentials you type: vaccine safety and find the following article. <a href=https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/CX4098200376/GVRL?u=lehman_main&sid=GVRL&xid=efa492c0 target="_blank">https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/CX4098200376/GVRL?u=lehman_main&sid=GVRL&xid=efa492c0</a> You see that you can email the article directly from the database so you send it to Serena. She texts you: "Thx! This is great! This looks like a really useful introduction to the topic of vaccine safety. But can you find anything recent that goes into more depth? This is a decision I really want to be sure about!" You understand what Serena means. While the article from Gale Ebooks is useful, it's definitely just background information. Samir had two other recommendations, you remember. You: [[Go to the library's OneSearch to see what you might find there.]] [[Go to the library's Webpage. There must be someone you can ask about where to go to find more in-depth information.]]

You go to the Lehman Library website (<a href=http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/library/ target="_blank">http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/library/</a>) and look around. There’s a lot on the page, but you zero in on something that says “Ask Us”. Maybe there’s a way you can find someone to talk to there. Looking around the site you see that there's a listing for Library Faculty and Staff: <a href=http://lehman.edu/library/faculty_staff.php target="_blank">http://lehman.edu/library/faculty_staff.php</a> Who is the librarian who specializes in Health Sciences? [[Prof Rebecca Arzola]] [[Prof Stephen Walker]] [[Prof Robin Wright]]

You get to the library’s homepage (<a href=https://lehman.edu/library/ target="_blank">https://lehman.edu/library/</a>) and see that the OneSearch is in the central search area of the website. Samir suggested that you search for vaccine safety, but you don’t really know what the OneSearch is and how it works. You Google Lehman OneSearch and discover <a href=https://onesearch.cuny.edu/discovery/search?vid=01CUNY_LE:CUNY_LE&mode=advanced target="_blank"> that the OneSearch "lets you search in one place for books, textbooks, ebooks, articles, newspapers, media, and more."</a> You also find the following video. Finding E-books and Articles Using OneSearch: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wyqlqKeWQ2A" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Then you answer a few questions to make sure you know how to use it. <div id="form_ecfe5d7e7c20918a395e9730c82e81ec"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://lehman.libwizard.com/form_loader.php?id=ecfe5d7e7c20918a395e9730c82e81ec&noheader=1"></script> Now that you know what the OneSearch is you [[try your hand at searching it! ->search the onesearch6]]

You do your search and discover that the Lehman Library has a virtual ambassador named Jasmyn ready to talk to you about evaluating information. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ywQdXXUXpEw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> You watch the video then do quick spot check of your understanding by answering a couple of questions: <div id="form_38592d85b08837ef3bee3e27862210f1"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://lehman.libwizard.com/form_loader.php?id=38592d85b08837ef3bee3e27862210f1&noheader=1"></script> Now that you’ve heard what Jasmyn had to say about evaluating information and have thought about the PBS clip you: [[Tell Serena that you think the information is good. Vaccines are safe and she should definitely get Jorge vaccinated. You send Serena the link to Jasmyn's video and tell her that your job is done!->Tell Serena that you think the information is good. Vaccines are safe and she should definitely get Jorge vaccinated. You send Serena the link to Jasmine's video and tell her that your job is done!]] [[You send Serena Jasmyn's video and tell her that you're not yet sure the information is good and that you need to do some more searching on the web.->You send Serena Jasmine's video and tell her that you're not yet sure the information is good and that you need to do some more searching on the web.]]

You text Samir ask him whether he thinks the video you found is a good source of information. He texts back: "I'm studying for a bio test that's coming up so can't watch the video right now. Also, I'm not an expert on vaccines! (Someday, maybe! I'm really starting to realize that it takes YEARS to become an expert on topics.) I did though see a video once that the Lehman Library put together about evaluating information related to vaccines. Check it out." He then texts you the video: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ywQdXXUXpEw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> You watch the video then answer a couple of questions to make sure you have a handle on it: <div id="form_38592d85b08837ef3bee3e27862210f1"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://lehman.libwizard.com/form_loader.php?id=38592d85b08837ef3bee3e27862210f1&noheader=1"></script> Now that you’ve heard what Jasmine had to say about evaluating information and have thought about the PBS clip you: [[Tell Serena that you think the information is good.

"Thanks!" Serena texts back. "But I didn't see any sources used for the video. And is PBS a reputable source for this kind of information? Jorge is watching Sesame Street these days! But does that mean this is good?" Maybe you do have a little more work to do! You decide to: [[Check the details about the video->You send Serena Jasmine's video and tell her that you're not yet sure the information is good and that you need to do some more searching on the web.]]

You google the question: What is the Internet? You find the following video. It's short so you give it a look. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dxcc6ycZ73M" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> You find a second video that's a bit longer and watch it. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TNQsmPf24go" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Then you think about the following questions to gather your thoughts about how you'll explain to Serena what the Internet is: <div id="form_3456149cea96952b3bbace43717621ce"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://lehman.libwizard.com/form_loader.php?id=3456149cea96952b3bbace43717621ce&noheader=1"></script> You next [[write back to Serena about what you discovered about the Internet]]

You write to Serena and tell her that you just don't have time to look into the nature of the Internet. Ten minutes later, you get an email from one of your Professors telling you that some students are handing in research papers that seem to use Wikipedia for all of its sources. She's concerned that students don't know what the Internet is and what else is available to people besides freely accessible resources on what she calls the "open web." Well this is good timing. You can both answer Serena's question and prepare for what you expect will be a "pop quiz" in class next week. You [[Take a few minutes to learn about the Internet->Look up some information about what the Internet for Serena before looking more into vaccines using what might be available at Lehman.]]

Samir writes you back: I've been using these kinds of articles for a year or so now. This is what's called a "scholarly research article." It's an article written by experts for other experts...or for those like us who are becoming experts in something. You're really getting deep into vaccines! Are you going to major in bio or something? I learned about scholarly articles when I started at Lehman in a class where we saw this video: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2qIjfsMgG20" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Take a look. My brother graduated from John Jay (my family is CUNY through and through) and sent me a link from the library there that I also found useful: <a href=https://guides.lib.jjay.cuny.edu/c.php?g=288333&p=1922599 target="_blank">John Jay Guide</a> That should help you explain to Serena what kind of article it is. Back to the grind! I got this test coming up!" You watch the video and check out the website at John Jay. Then you answer the following questions to check your knowledge: <div id="form_ea1c2549b35399f42c931f8dda8b89e7"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://lehman.libwizard.com/form_loader.php?id=ea1c2549b35399f42c931f8dda8b89e7&noheader=1"></script> Now that you know what a scholarly journal article is you write to Serena to give her an overview of what you've learned. She texts back, "Thx! But don't forget, I still need something a little more accessible." Right! You remember. There was a source that Samir had told you about in his first email. [[You go back to Samir's original email]]

You visit the 24/7 Chat Service, which is where you can go to ask a librarian any kind of question you may have any time of the day or night. You upload the article you found in the Library's OneSearch and type: Hello there, Can you tell me what kind of article this is? Within seconds, a librarian named Edgar writes back to you: "Sure thing! That looks to be what's called a scholarly research article. Your library has a video <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2qIjfsMgG20" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> There's also a useful website at another CUNY College that goes into this: <a href=https://guides.lib.jjay.cuny.edu/c.php?g=288333&p=1922599 target="_blank">John Jay Guide</a> Will this get you started?" "Yes," you reply. "Thanks!" You watch the video and check out the website at John Jay.

But maybe there's something better, you think. Samir suggested talking to a librarian so you [[Follow Samir’s advice, and go to the library's website to find a librarian who specializes in Health Sciences.]]

You're correct, Prof. Robin Wright is the Health and Human Services Librarian at Lehman College. You write to Professor Wright and she gets back to you: "Wow, great work finding both the scholarly article using OneSearch and the background information from Gale Ebooks! Those are two places I'd definitely suggest. I have a number of other suggestions, but why don't we schedule a consultation? Let me know when you're available. In the meanwhile, I think you can be confident sharing all of the information you've found with your friend.

You write to Robin and explain to her that your friend has asked you to find information about whether vaccines are safe and you tell her what you've done so far and that Serena wants something more accessible. he gets back to you with the following note: "Wow, you've done a great job so far! Good work finding that scholarly article. In the future, you can also go to our library databases to find scholarly articles as well. We have more than 150 different databases.

You text Samir ask him whether he thinks the video you found is a good source of information. He texts back: "I'm studying for a biotest that's coming up so can't watch the video right now. Also, I'm not an expert on vaccines! (Someday, maybe! I'm really starting to realize that it takes YEARS to become an expert on topics.)

You go to the Lehman Library website (<a href=http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/library/ target="_blank">http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/library/</a>) and look around. There’s a lot on the page, but you zero in on something that says “Ask Us”. Maybe there’s a way you can find someone to talk to there. Looking around the site you see that there's a listing for Library Faculty and Staff: <a href=http://lehman.edu/library/faculty_staff.php target="_blank">http://lehman.edu/library/faculty_staff.php</a> Who is the librarian who specializes in Health Sciences? [[Lehman Librarian, Rebecca Arzola]] [[Lehman Librarian, Stephen Walker]] [[Lehman Librarian, Robin Wright]]

Maybe the video is not good information. It's always good to be on the safe side and Serena needs accurate information. You go to the Youtube page for the video - <a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aNhzLUL2ys target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aNhzLUL2ys</a> - and click on "Show More" in the video description.

You get to the library’s homepage (<a href=https://lehman.edu/library/ target="_blank">https://lehman.edu/library/</a>) and see that the OneSearch is in the central search area of the website. Samir suggested that you search for vaccine safety, but you don’t really know what the OneSearch is and how it works.

But that's right! You still need to share the article from Gale Ebooks with Serena! You send it to her and she texts you back: "This is great! This looks like a really useful introduction to the topic of vaccine safety. It'll give me the context I need to make sense of everything else. This and the scholarly article you found is more than enough to make me feel like getting Jorge vaccinated is the best thing to do. Thank you so much! But I'm wondering if there might be something online that would be a kind of quick and easy overview that I can share with some of my other friends who are parents. They don't like to read as much as we do LOL! Would you be able to help me with that, too?" You text her back: "You're so welcome! I can definitely do some searching online. Let me do that and get back to you." A friend's job is never done! It's great that Serena wants to educate her friends about vaccine safety. You: [[Go to Google and do a search for: vaccine safety]]

You're correct, Prof. Robin Wright is the Health and Human Services Librarian at Lehman College. You write to Robin and explain to her that your friend has asked you to find information about whether vaccines are safe and you tell her what you've done so far and that Serena wants something more in-depth. She gets back to you with the following note: "Wow, you've done a great job so far! Good work finding that article in Gale Ebooks. And great work finding me! The library is the right place to be. We have many databases and our OneSearch is kind of like the "google" of the library. I might suggest you go to the OneSearch next and look for a scholarly article there. Stick with the keywords you were using: vaccine safety. That should work well. Let's also set up an appointment to speak later.

Samir writes you back: I've been using these kinds of articles for a year or so now. This is what's called a "scholarly research article." It's an article written by experts for other experts...or for those like us who are becoming experts in something. You're really getting deep into vaccines! Are you going to major in bio or something?

You visit the 24/7 Chat Service, which is where you can go to ask a librarian any kind of question you may have any time of the day or night. You upload the article you found in the Library's OneSearch and type: Hello there, Can you tell me what kind of article this is? Within seconds, a librarian named Edgar writes back to you: "Sure thing! That looks to be what's called a scholarly research article.

"Thanks!" Serena texts back. "But I didn't see any sources used for the video. And is PBS a reputable source for this kind of information? Jorge is watching Sesame Street these days! But does that mean this is good?" Maybe you do have a little more work to do! You decide to: [[Check the details about the video->Send Serena Jasmine's video and tell her that you're not yet sure the information is good and that you need to do some more searching on the web.]]

Maybe the video is not good information. It's always good to be on the safe side and Serena needs accurate information. You go to the Youtube page for the video - <a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aNhzLUL2ys/ target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aNhzLUL2ys</a> - and click on "Show More" in the video description. You see there are a number of sources that the publisher, PBS, has listed as the places where it got the information referenced in the video. That's like a bibliography. When you get to - <a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aNhzLUL2ys/ target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aNhzLUL2ys</a> - and click on "Show More" you see: [["Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel's Autism", by Peter J.

Two weeks later, another friend of yours, Jessica, who's a student at a SUNY campus upstate writes to you. "Hey, long time no see! How's Lehman College treating you? I got an email from a friend of mine back in the city who's trying to decide whether it's worth it to go to college. I told her that it was, but she wants "proof and evidence." How would you try to get her information to help her make a decision?" Wow, this isn't that different from Serena's issue. She needed some information to make a good decision. You know just what to do a write back: "Getting information on the web is great, but you have to really think about it. I've used <a href=http://lehman.edu/library/ target="_blank">Lehman's library website</a> for something similar. Your library should also have some good information about this." "That makes a lot of sense! Thanks! You really know a lot about this stuff!" "Nah. I'm not a research expert yet! That takes years. I've just got some good friends, a good library and I've done the work! Why don't you start by going to the web or your library's website. I can guide you from there!"

You go to the Lehman Library website (<a href=http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/library/ target="_blank">http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/library/</a>) and look around. There’s a lot on the page, but you zero in on something that says “Ask Us”. Maybe there’s a way you can find someone to talk to there. Looking around the site you see that there's a listing for Library Faculty and Staff: <a href=http://lehman.edu/library/faculty_staff.php target="_blank">http://lehman.edu/library/faculty_staff.php</a> Who is the librarian who specializes in Health Sciences?

You're correct, Prof. Robin Wright is the Health and Human Services Librarian at Lehman College. You write to Professor Wright and she gets back to you: "Wow, great work finding both the scholarly article using OneSearch and the background information from Gale Ebooks! Those are two places I'd definitely suggest. I have a number of other suggestions, but why don't we schedule a consultation. Let me know when you're available.

You're correct, Prof. Robin Wright is the Health and Human Services Librarian at Lehman College. You write to Robin and explain to her that your friend has asked you to find information about whether vaccines are safe and you tell her what you've done so far and that Serena wants something more accessible. She gets back to you with the following note: "Thanks for reaching out to me and great work finding that PBS video! The library is the right place to be. We have many databases and our OneSearch is kind of like the "Google" of the library. It has a lot of great information of all types. But since your friend is looking for more information to complement the web video you found, I might suggest you try Gale Ebooks first and then look for something more in depth using the Library's OneSearch. But really it's up to you. I also suggest you stick with the keywords you were using: vaccine safety. That should work well. But before you decide what to do, if you need any more help before we meet, you can email me or stop by our 24/7 Chat service.

You follow Robin's advice and check out Gale Ebooks. But didn't Samir say something about that, too? Yeah, he told you to check with him when you got around to that database! You text Samir that you're going to try Gale Ebooks. He writes you back: "Great choice! A database gathers information across many sources into one place so that you can search across that information and retrieve it.

You then click on the <a href=https://libguides.lehman.edu/az.php target="_blank">link that says "Browse Databases A-Z"</a>. "Wow," you think. "The library has over 250 different databases!" You find Gale Ebooks on the list and see that it has information from encyclopedias and other general information sources. When you get to the database and open it using your CUNYfirst credentials you type: vaccine safety and find the following article. <a href=https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/CX4098200376/GVRL?u=lehman_main&sid=GVRL&xid=efa492c0 target="_blank">https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/CX4098200376/GVRL?u=lehman_main&sid=GVRL&xid=efa492c0</a> You see that you can email the article directly from the database so you send it to Serena. She texts you: "Thx! This is great! This looks like a really useful introduction to the topic of vaccine safety. But can you find anything recent that goes into more depth? This is a decision I really want to be sure about!" You understand what Serena means. While the article from Gale Ebooks is useful, it's definitely just background information. You remember that Robin, the Health and Human Services Librarian at Lehman, suggested that you go to the OneSearch and find something there. You: [[Head to the OneSearch]]

You get to the library’s homepage (<a href=https://lehman.edu/library/ target="_blank">https://lehman.edu/library/</a>) and see that the OneSearch is in the central search area of the website.

Samir had written: "You can try searching the Library’s Onesearch, maybe for something like: vaccine safety. Second, try a database called Gale Ebooks to get some background on vaccines and their safety. Also, there’s a great librarian at Lehman who specializes in health sciences, but I can’t remember her name. Try to find and talk to her." That's it. Gale Ebooks! Prof. Right had also mentioned it.

You get to the library’s homepage (<a href=https://lehman.edu/library/ target="_blank">https://lehman.edu/library/</a>) and see that the OneSearch is in the central search area of the website. Samir suggested that you search for vaccine safety, but you don’t really know what the OneSearch is and how it works. You Google Lehman OneSearch and discover <a href=https://onesearch.cuny.edu/discovery/search?vid=01CUNY_LE:CUNY_LE&mode=advanced target="_blank"> that the OneSearch "lets you search in one place for books, textbooks, ebooks, articles, newspapers, media, and more."</a> You also find the following videos.

Samir writes you back: I've been using these kinds of articles for a year or so now. This is what's called a "scholarly research article." It's an article written by experts for other experts...or for those like us who are becoming experts in something. You're really getting deep into vaccines! Are you going to major in bio or something? I learned about scholarly articles when I started at Lehman in a class where we saw this video: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2qIjfsMgG20" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> Take a look.

You write to Serena another note and let her know you vetted the video and saw that it does have sources. PBS is also a reputable source for all kinds of information. Its mission is learning! "Great. That's reassuring. This is a great start, but I was also hoping to get something more scientific. Something that you might be able to get now that you're in college that I can't find out on the Internet. Also, I just used the word Internet, but what, exactly, is 'the Internet'? LOL I've never actually asked that before but now that I'm thinking about what you may have at Lehman, I realize I really don't know the difference between the Internet, the 'web' and all that. I've got my phone and apps, but how does it all work? Would you have time to give me some background on that? I'd really appreciate it!" You look at your watch.

Yes, you found the sources. "The Panic Virus" and other books and websites were the basis for the video. If you had time, you could track those sources down and make sure those, too, were good. But for now you're satisfied. But what about PBS as a source itself? What is PBS anyway? You go to the PBS webiste and find it's Mission page: <a href=https://www.pbs.org/about/about-pbs/mission-values/ target="_blank">https://www.pbs.org/about/about-pbs/mission-values/</a> You see that PBS describes itself as "America's Largest...

Yes, PBS states that it's America's Largest Classroom and has a mission to "educate." You also see that it says that, "PBS offers programming for a wide range of ages, interests and genres. Each month, nearly 100 million people through television and nearly 33 million people online explore the worlds of science, history, culture, great literature and public affairs through PBS’ trusted content." Trusted content. That's what you're looking for. You can now: [[Write back to Serena with confidence that PBS is a good source of information and that the video is reliable.->Serena and PBS]]

You write to Serena and tell her that you just don't have time to look into the nature of the Internet. Ten minutes later, you get an email from one of your Professors telling you that some students are handing in research papers that seem to use Wikipedia for all of its sources. She's concerned that students don't know what the Internet is and what else is available to people besides freely accessible resources on what she calls the "open web." Well this is good timing. You can both answer Serena's question and prepare for what you expect will be a "pop quiz" in class next week. You [[Take a few minutes to learn about the Internet->Look up information about what the Internet for Serena before looking more into vaccines using what might be available at Lehman.]]

Two weeks later, another friend of yours, Jessica, who's a student at a SUNY campus upstate writes to you. "Hey, long time no see! How's Lehman College treating you? I got an email from a friend of mine back in the city who's trying to decide whether it's worth it to go to college. I told her that it was, but she wants 'proof and evidence.' How would you try to get her information to help her make a decision?" Wow, this isn't that different from Serena's issue. She needed some information to make a good decision. You know just what to do a write back: "Getting information on the web is great, but you have to really think about it. I've used <a href=http://lehman.edu/library/ target="_blank">Lehman's library website</a> for something similar. Your library should also have some good information about this." "That makes a lot of sense! Thanks! You really know a lot about this stuff!" "Nah. I'm not a research expert yet! That takes years. I've just got some good friends, a good library and I've done the work! Why don't you start by going to the web or your library's website. I can guide you from there!"

You're correct, Prof. Robin Wright is the Health and Human Services Librarian at Lehman College. You write to Professor Wright and she gets back to you: "Wow, great work finding both the scholarly article using OneSearch and the background information from Gale Ebooks! Those are two places I'd definitely suggest. I have a number of other suggestions, but why don't we schedule a consultation? Let me know when you're available. In the meanwhile, I think you can be confident sharing all of the information you've found with your friend. Thanks for reaching out! If you need any more help before we meet, you can email me or stop by our 24/7 Chat service.

With that, you: [[Take a victory lap and go to the conclusion of your adventure!->CONCLUSION]]

You email Samir and tell him that you want to find some good information on using the library's resources next. Samir writes you back: "I'm only in my third year of the bio program. I've learned a lot so far (I'm even starting to think about Graduate School!), but I've only scratched the surface when it comes to vaccines. Like I said in my text, I'm definitely no expert! But you can find a lot of expert information using the Lehman Library Website. You can try searching the Library’s Onesearch, maybe for something like: vaccine safety. You want to use keywords, rather than trying to type in a question like you might in Google. I learned that at the library awhile back and will send you a video about it. Second, try a database called Gale Ebooks to get some background on vaccines and their safety. When you're ready to do that, let me know and I'll send you some more info about databases. Also, there’s a great librarian at Lehman who specializes in health sciences, but I can’t remember her name. Try to find and talk to her." You email Samir back with thanks and watch the video he sent you.

<img src=http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/library/img/lehman-logo.png> <span style='font-family:sans-serif; font-size: 20pt; font-weight:bold'>Leonard Lief Library</span> Welcome to the Lehman College Library's Choose Your Own Adventure game! In this game you will need to find some important information for a friend in need. Along the way you will: • Learn about the library and some of its services • Get acquainted with the library's website and resources • Be introduced to the principles of critical thinking and evaluating information To navigate the tutorial you will be given choices at the end of each section (like the link you see below at the very end of this page). If you go down a wrong path, you may be asked to turn back a page. If that happens, use the curved arrow in the lefthand corner of the section to go backwards (you'll see it as you progress). You'll also come across various links, videos and quick quizzes that check your knowledge throughout your adventure. For example, maybe you'll come across some useful information like the following: The library provides access to <a href=http://lehman.edu/library/newspapers.php target="_blank">free (yes, free!) subscriptions to the New York Times and Wall Stree Journal.</a> When you click the link (which may also show up as a URL like <a href=http://lehman.edu/library/newspapers.php target="_blank">http://lehman.edu/library/newspapers.php</a>), it will take you out of the adventure where you'll be free to explore. You may also a see a video like the following: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jyd-aCsLbgw" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> A quiz (which you'll see directly after) will often follow the link(s) and/or video(s). Go ahead take this practice "quiz". <div id="form_960050f990ec3b137c199444ba9cb840"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://lehman.libwizard.com/form_loader.php?id=960050f990ec3b137c199444ba9cb840&noheader=1"></script> You'll be required to get the right answer to move to the next question. Once you've finished the quiz, you'll see "Great work! Continue reading below to go on with your adventure!" While the quizzes in the adventure aren't graded, you will get a quiz at the end that's based on the links, videos and quizzes in the adventure, so definitely read, watch and respond! Are you ready to get started? If so: [[Go to the beginning of your adventure!->Important Note]]

But wait! One more important thing to note: This game runs in your browser. Keep the browser window open on your computer until you finish the game (you can keep it open for hours or even days. It stays active as long as you don't close the window). And be sure not to clear your browser history while playing the game. If you close the window or clear the browser, you'll have to start the game from the beginning. It's no big deal if you have to do that, but you can save your place simply by leaving the game window open and not clearing your browser history. Oh, and it should take you about half an hour to an hour to complete the game (though it could be shorter or longer depending on how fast you go and whether you take breaks). And did we mention there's also a quiz at the end? I think we did! But we didn't mention that you'll get a certificate of completion once you take it. Be sure you get that so that we know you played the game! [[Okay, now you're really ready to begin your adventure!->The beginning]]
