Abstract
This activity is based on the reality show Amazing Race, in which teams must complete various challenges in order to get clues for the next leg of the race. It is designed to be a very basic introduction to library and drug information resources, as I use it with first-year pharmacy students as part of their Abilities Lab course. This activity takes a fair amount of prep time, but is quite well-received by the students. It is a nice way to introduce the students to the library in a fun and engaging way. If you have any questions about how to set up the activity or have suggestions for how to improve it, please feel free to email me at efgorman@hshsl.umaryland.edu
