Inside the first case is a plain note that reads: //“The exhibit in this case is still being installed...come back soon!”// * [[Exhibit Hallway]]

You see some glamor shots of penguins waddling about Antarctica. You also see a red sticky note on the outside of the glass. (click: "red sticky note")[(display:"Red sticky note")] (set: $redNote to true) * [[Exhibit Hallway]]

You suddenly find yourself in a parallel timeline. It’s a beautiful clear night, there’s a light breeze rattling the leaves in the trees. Above, stars twinkle merrily, and the lights on the trees cast a gentle light across the path in front of you.} You walk down the path toward Sayles-Hill, and head toward the mailboxes. Scanning the list of names on the wall, you find yourself -- $name! You memorize this term's mailbox number, open your mailbox, and along with a handful of random flyers and ads, you find this note: (display:"Note in your mailbox") (t8n:"fade-right")+(t8n-delay:1s)[''HINT: This note has been added to your Inventory now!''] It’s 10pm, and many of the librarians have gone home for the day, but the library is still open. * Run across campus to [[Gould Library]] to start your search (set: $mailboxNote to true)

To the LEFT is the [[Writing Center]]. There are [[photos on the wall->Exhibit Photos]] to your RIGHT, opposite the Writing Center.} In the middle of the hallway -- between the Writing Center and the photos -- are two free-standing flat, glass exhibit display cases ([[Exhibit case 1]] and [[Exhibit case 2]]). There seems to be something stuck to the outside of one of the cases. Beyond the exhibit cases, at the end of the Exhibit Hallway, is a [[large, well-lit room->Reference Room]] with many windows and some plants.

You walk down a wide staircase. It leads you to the third floor and then ends. There are many bookshelves on this floor, including some fun tidbits like filing cabinets filled with microfilm, and old scholarly journals bound together like books. But to your immediate LEFT is Room 306, the library classroom. Around a corner to your RIGHT is a row of study rooms. * [[Room 306]] * [[Study Rooms]]

Most of the lights are currently off in the Writing Center, but you can see some consultation tables and lamps, couches, and an area that looks like it holds snacks (like Friday donuts and herbal teas) during the year. You see a sign that says: //“Come back on Friday for snacks!”// * [[Exhibit Hallway]]

{<p> <a href="img/4-RefRoomBig.jpg" target=_blank> <div style="float:left; padding-right:30px"> <img alt="Reference Room, with lots of light!" loading="lazy" src="img/4-RefRoomBig.jpg" style="width: 300px; height: auto" /> </div></a></p> This is a large, bright room. The wall opposite you and the wall to your right are mostly made from tall windows. There’s a curved desk in the middle of the room that says Research/IT on the front. It seems that librarians and ITS student workers sit there.} Because it’s evening, there is currently a Reference Intern sitting behind the Research/IT desk, looking helpful. To your left is an elevator. There are also reference librarian offices along the left wall, but since it’s late at night, the doors are closed. In the far right corner is what seems to be a glass case built into the wall. Something blue catches your eye. * [[Talk to the Reference Intern in front of you->Research/IT Desk]] * [[Walk to the right to the glass case->Cabinet of Wonders]] * [[Walk back toward the Exhibit Hall->Exhibit Hallway]] * [[Walk left to the elevator->4th Floor Elevator Lobby]]

You see photos on the wall, from the Off Campus Studies photo competition. There are pictures of mountains in Peru, camels in a desert, and croissants in a cafe in Paris. It makes you vaguely hungry. * [[Exhibit Hallway]]

In the elevator lobby, you see a hot water fountain to make tea. You can take the elevator to any floor in the library. By the elevator is a map of the library. It's similar to the one you have in your [[hand->Inventory]]! |4>[(link-rerun:"Map of the Library")[(show:?3)(hide:?4)]]|3)[(display:"Map") (link-rerun:"Put away the Library Map")[(hide:?3)(show:?4)]] * [[Use the Elevator->Elevator]] * [[Return to the Reference Room->Reference Room]] * [[Walk toward the Exhibit Hall->Exhibit Hallway]]

The Reference Intern, Oscar, sits by a computer at the curved Research/IT desk. There's also an ITS student worker who sits here, but they seem to have stepped away momentarily. "Hi, $name!" says Oscar, smiling. Can I help you with anything today? (link-reveal: "''What is the Research/IT Desk?''")[ Oscar smiles -- great question! It's both the library's reference desk and also a place where you can get help from ITS student workers. So you can come here to get help with things like: finding a book or image or dataset, citing an article or primary source, or getting some help printing or scanning or using Word.] (link-reveal: "''I've lost my map!''")[ The Intern leans over conspiratorily and says: //"Did you know that there are maps on the walls of each elevator lobby?"// (if: $map is true)[//"You can also find a copy of the map in your Inventory!"//]] (link-reveal: "''Where do I find this call number in the building?''")[ Oscar, knowing that the building is a bit weird, looks at a library floor map and says, "The library is organized into sub-collections, and then each sub-collection is organized by <a href="https://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/lcco/" target=_blank>subject</a>. For instance, the Reference sub-collection is in this room. The Reference books about history (which start with the letters C, D, E, and F) are behind me to the left. You’ll find other specialized collections labeled on the map!] (link-reveal: "''What does a call number look like?''")[ Call numbers start off with a location (like Reference or Special Collections), then 1 or 2 letters (the general subject of the book), and then are followed by decimal numbers. They often end with a letter and two numbers, and a year. I think Katie, the map librarian is down on the second floor in the G (geography) section if you want to see some examples of call numbers!] * [[Walk to the right to the glass case->Cabinet of Wonders]] * [[Walk back toward the Exhibit Hall->Exhibit Hallway]] * [[Walk left to the elevator->4th Floor Elevator Lobby]]

You reach the far corner and find some comfy looking couches, and a glass display case labeled CABINET OF WONDERS. In front of this curio cabinet, you see a small reproduction of a map titled is “US Antarctic bases”, but all of the locations seem to have been scratched out by penguin feet. Stuck to the side is a small blue sticky note.

The elevator has four buttons, one for each floor. The 4th floor is the top floor that you entered on; the 1st floor is underground. [[Floor 4->4th Floor Elevator Lobby]] [[Floor 3->3rd Floor Elevator Lobby]] [[Floor 2->2nd Floor Elevator Lobby]] [[Floor 1->1st Floor Elevator Lobby]]

The elevator doors open, and you find yourself on the 3rd floor. There are many bookshelves on this floor, including some fun tidbits like filing cabinets filled with microfilm, and old scholarly journals bound together like books. Around the corner to the right is Room 306, the library classroom. Straight ahead is a row of study rooms. |4>[(link-rerun:"Map of the Library")[(show:?3)(hide:?4)]]|3)[(display:"Map") (link-rerun:"Put away the Library Map")[(hide:?3)(show:?4)]] * [[Room 306]] * [[Study Rooms]] * [[Elevator]]

You exit the elevator and look around. There are rows of book stacks in front of you. Off to your right you hear someone whistling cheerily to themselves, so you head that way. You see Katie Lewis, an intrepid librarian, organizing some large sheet maps on a large white table. Next to that white table is a row of books labeled “G”. Against the back wall are low metal map storage cases. |4>[(link-rerun:"Map of the Library")[(show:?3)(hide:?4)]]|3)[(display:"Map") (link-rerun:"Put away the Library Map")[(hide:?3)(show:?4)]] * [[Browse the G section of the book stacks->G Stacks]] * [[Look at the collection of maps->Map Collection]] * [[Elevator]]

Computers line the walls. On the far wall is a [[cork board->Cork board]], with a few pieces of paper stuck to it.} There are two students there, doing homework on the lab computers. The student nearest you is singing quietly to themselves. The student in the back of the room looks up and quietly smiles as you walk in. (link: "Start singing with the student near you") [That student is wearing headphones and doesn’t pay attention to you.] (link: "Smile at the student in the back of the room") [The student, looking a bit bored with their homework, gets up and walks over. After you introduce yourself, the cheerful student responds: //“Hey, nice to meet you, $name! My name is Val and I use they/them pronouns. I'm an RA on 2nd Myers, and am a new Geology major and am loving it! Are you new to the Libe?

Most of the study rooms are in use, but one on the end seems to be empty. } (link:"Enter the last Study Room")[You enter the room. It’s a smallish room, about 6’ x 6’. In the middle is a table, with a stack of papers on it. There’s a window that looks out onto the collections of microfilm and bound periodicals. On one wall is a chalkboard.

She says, //“Books in the G call number range are mainly about geography and maps. These ones here, at the beginning of the Gs, include some travelogues (stories about the travels of explorers).”// (click-append: "G call number range")[ (//like many other colleges and universities, Carleton uses the Library of Congress call number system -- not Dewey decimal call number.

There are multiple cases filled with tens of thousands of maps along the far wall. The cases are movable, with hand cranks on the ends facing you. There’s also a large flat work table by the cases. It’s currently empty. 3 rows are accessible. (link-reveal: "''Row 1''") [: You pull out a heavy drawer and see maps in many different languages, some with street plans of international cities, and others show whole countries. A lot of them are from the 1940's! No maps of US Bases in Antarctica here, though.] (link-reveal: "''Row 2''") [: You see a whole row of drawers labeled with the names of states.

Tom, however, smiles broadly and walks to the front of the reading room, to greet you: //“Why hello there, and welcome to Carleton’s Archives! We store a bunch of material related to the history of the college here, including things like photos, scrap books, letters, interviews, home movies, and student publications.
