Short Description

BiblioBouts, developed at the University of Michigan, is a computer game designed to teach undergraduate students information literacy skills and concepts. BiblioBouts is meant for any college course in which the instructor assigns a research/writing assignment. Students play BiblioBouts (in conjunction with the citation management tool Zotero) while they research their assigned papers, with the end result being a “Best Bibliography” that students can use in writing their papers.
