Abstract
How do we engage students with information literacy, critical thinking skills, and how to use library services? Before the pandemic we had successfully used kits from Breakoutedu to engage students in learning about library services and resources. Then we had to think of a way to do this virtually. In the spring of 2020 we created 4 online escape room activities and took one of our most popular in-person events online. While we have added and tweaked our events as we have moved back to in-person learning we are still utilizing these online tools to help students learn more about the library and its services.
