No More Tours: How Library Tours Of The Past Become Today's Celebrations, Linda Walton, Teresa Westphal, Brian Lauer, Kurt Munson, James Shedlock

Linda J. Walton

In 1999, Northwestern University's Galter Health Sciences Library redesigned the library orientation program for first-year medical students. Surveys indicated tours were ineffective and students retained little of the information presented. Furthermore, the tour was not related to the student's curriculum and did not reinforce their learning objectives.
