The authors describe a learning exercise for an English composition information literacy instruction session. This session merges technology with active learning, is fun and engaging. Librarians introduced digital cameras into library instruction. Students filmed one another as they searched the online catalog to locate call numbers, investigate subject headings, and find books on the shelves. This exercise infused technology and fun with the important skill of using the library's catalog to locate information sources. Students gained comfort with using the library; they enjoyed the experiences, and they interpreted the exercise in creative ways.
