  3. USC Upstate • 5,500 students, 820 transfer students each year. • Transfer students miss the library instruction sessions in the first year program. • Created a BlackBoard “inventory of information literacy skills.” • Suggestion of using a game, inspired by Mary Broussard’s Goblin Threat Plagiarism Game. • Collaboration with Sebastian Vandelden, Computer Science Professor. • One of his students, Cory Bohon worked on creating the game as a project for class. • A group of librarians created a story board. • Cory used Hype on his Mac to create the pirate game this past semester. It is now complete and in the testing phase.
