LibQuest using Minecraft is a research project in which an alternative environment for getting to know your library and the services it provides has been created in Minecraft. It has been created as part of a PhD looking at inclusion in higher education and is in the Beta stages of development. The aim is to create a space in which anyone can get to know their library and is especially helpful for those who feel the library may be an intimating place to enter without seeing what's inside and where to go first.

LibQuest for Off-Campus Library Resources is an online introduction to key features of the Library. Using quizzes and activities, you should become familiar with core off-campus services.

It is organised for foundation and first year students and is an introduction to using Library resources from off-campus.

You will take part in an interactive Sway quest, through which you will explore our facilities and learn about the support available to help you succeed in your academic studies.  You will be given a number of clues and tasks to complete regarding key Library services.
