Searchpath is a set of Library tutorials - there are 6 PowerPoint learning modules and 6 accompanying quizzes. Searchpath 2010 includes examples related to the Common Reading book Survival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty by Nancy Etcoff.

Each module and quiz takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Students should complete all the modules and quizzes by the date required by the course instructor. Faculty may elect to let students take the Pre-test in order to give students the option of "testing out" of Searchpath. If students score 80% or above on the Pre-test, they do not have to complete the 6 PowerPoint modules and quizzes.
