Trivia Game Winner and Answers
April 16, 2012
Thanks to everyone who played the Mott Library Trivia Game last week! The winner of the $25 bookstore gift certificate is: James Bowns
Trivia Game Answers:
1. What is one of the quietest student spaces on campus?
97.9% of respondents choose the correct answer – Mott Library’s second floor
2. Does Mott Library own more printed books or more e-books?
66.7% selected the right answer – printed books
Mott Library has about 80,000 printed books and access to approximately 40,000 e-books in ebrary, EBSCOhost, and Gale Virtual Reference Library. We expect number of e-books to increase over the next five years, but cannot predict when the number of e-books will equal or exceed the number of printed books in our collection.
3. What can you do at the Mott Library?
This was a trick question – all of the answers were correct. 93.8% of respondents selected “all of the above”.
4. How many hours per week is Mott Library open during winter term?
This was an even trickier question! The library building is open 71 hours per week, and our website is available 24/7 for a total of 168 hours a week. 50% of respondents choose 71 hours per week and 20.8% of respondents choose both 71 and 168 hours per week.
5. What is coming soon to the Mott Library?
27.1% of respondents selected the right answer – streaming video. The library will be adding a subscription to Films on Demand by the end of the month. A majority of respondents, 64.6%, selected fiction e-books. While we have access to lots of academic, non-fiction e-books, we don’t have fiction e-books yet. We are giving that some consideration!
Thanks for playing our game and for participating in National Library Week!
