The University of Michigan's School of Information and its partner, the Center for
History and New Media at George Mason University, are undertaking the 3-year
BiblioBouts Project (October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2011) to support the design,
development, testing, and evaluation of the web-based BiblioBouts game to teach
incoming undergraduate students information literacy skills and concepts. This third
interim report describes the BiblioBouts Project team’s 6-month progress achieving the project's 4 objectives: designing, developing, deploying, and evaluating the BiblioBouts game and recommending best practices for future information literacy games. This latest 6-month period was marked by extensive progress in the deployment and evaluation of the alpha version of BiblioBouts. Major tasks that will occupy the team for the next 6 months are applying evaluation findings to game redesign and enhancement.
