This study addresses finding the best means of introducing incoming freshmen to the library and the skills and concepts of information lit­ eracy. The results of a traditional librarian-led orientation tour are com­ pared with those of a self-guided treasure hunt. As part of an Introduc­ tion to College Life course in a multicultural community college, stu­ dents in classes selected randomly participated in the alternate forms of orientation. Identical questionnaires, completed by all participants, con­ tained both a test of learning objectives and an attitude survey. Statisti­ cal analysis of the test results and highly positive feedback indicated an educational advantage in the self-guided tour, supporting active learn­ ing theories. The study also demonstrates the need for continuing ex­ perimentation, innovation, and creativity in orientation tour design, as well as the value of such introductory tours, enhancing both comfort level and skill in library use.
