Library Virtual Tour and Assignment

You may be asked to complete the Library Virtual Tour and assignment by your Composition instructor. If you have already completed the assignment for University 101, print and present the confirmation you receive by email to prove that you have done the tour.

  • You can expand to full screen to better view the tour. An Accessibility View is available and can be selected at the top of the tour screen, from the menu under the three dots.
  • Near the end of the tour is a link to a quiz. Make sure you provide your e-mail address so that your quiz score will be sent to you.
  • Return to the tour after the quiz to get instructions for the "Imagine the Future Library" activity.
