Project Team Project Manager: Michelle Reed (michelle.reed@uta.edu) Illustrator: Alaine Caudle Project Assistants: Mike Van Esler and Leighann Dicks Original Student Team: Alaine Caudle, Luke Austin, and Ricky Yang 3. Project Overview The Digital Storytelling Project on Library Anxiety began as a project in a service learning course offered by the Film and Media Studies Department at the University of Kansas (KU). In spring 2015, three undergraduate students enrolled in the course, taught by Germaine Halegoua and Meg Jamieson, collaborated with KU Libraries, represented by Michelle Reed and Tami Albin, to create an interactive, digital game addressing experiences of library anxiety among undergraduate students that could be integrated into first-year-experience courses offered by the university. The original student team created the game’s branching pathways within Twine, wrote the game text, and drafted a small number of animated GIFs that established the tone for the game. In spring 2016, after receiving funding to support production of the game’s missing elements, KU Libraries contracted Alaine Caudle to create the remaining illustrations and integrate them into the Twine file. Type-specific handouts were created to supplement the game, which was integrated into KU’s University 101 courses beginning in fall 2016. Access the published version of the game at http://game.lib.dept.ku.edu/ This project was funded by KU Libraries’ Center for Undergraduate Initiatives and Engagement and the Libraries Research Fund. 4.
