In our library classes, we were seeking ways to make database instruction more engaging for our students. Follow our journey as we collaborated to craft and refine a "Race the Librarian" game that includes fun competition and prizes, but more importantly empowers students to be responsible for their own learning as they practice with (and explain!) Boolean operators, key words, and limiters in databases. Experience how you can develop similar activities for your classroom, and come play the game for yourself! (Recommended: Bring a laptop or tablet to play.)
