CCI 250: Myth class assignment - books held at the Ref Desk

I (Jenny) have been working with a faculty member in Classical Studies who is requiring students to come to the library to look at some specific books. What we've decided to do is have three books (two from reference and one from the stacks) held at the reference desk for students in this class (CCI 250: Myth) to consult. Ideally, students will go to the stacks to look for a book, then see a placeholder that redirects them to the reference desk. They have specific tasks to complete for their assignment, but our main responsibility is to let them use the books. I recommend keeping these books at the lower desk and asking students to use them there so that they don't walk away. 

Here are the call numbers for these books, which Nick has pulled and put at the desk:
  • ref DE 5 N3830 2002 (a specific volume of Brill's New Pauly)
  • ref PN 6081 R29 1999 (Quotationary)
  • H41 .E6 (Encyclopaedia of the Social Sciences, volume 4)

The assignment will go live tomorrow (January 12) and is due on January 21. There are 50 students in the class, so there's a good chance you'll see one or two (or more!) during a shift!

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!
