Mobile library games… a few case studies.

QR codes & treasure hunt inductions – some

fun ideas from Charles Darwin University.

Linda Barron used SCVNGR to create a tour for

school parties at Queensland State Library.

Sarah Pavey used the QR codes for an

adventure night at Box Hill school (interactive story telling).

Correlation between e-resource use, book borrowing and student attainment. But none between library visits and student attainment…

Why did we introduce Lemontree?

Library usage makes a difference

User Feedback

Brilliant idea that has the potential to be a lot of

fun.

I enjoy the introduction of the game element
Quirky and unique type of game
Very good, I like it. Encourages me to visit the

library more often.

Very impressed with it. I've definitely visited the

library more frequently since its implementation.

Player suggestions:

Good idea, definitely needs a few tweaks and extra

features to improve it.

It's good but needs more to it. Maybe like a chat

function similar to FB and for achievements to show what they are and how to achieve them

I think lemontree should be easier to access. By this

I mean I currently have to log in to my library account and then go onto lemontree. It would be better if the two were integrated more fully. Or if lemontree was integrated into the curent unilearn sytem as an extra tab at the top.
