D'Amour Library's "In The Library" YouTube video

watch video Video Description We actually have very dedicated creative staff and students who were willing to explore the video/YouTube possibilities. We wanted to create a video that presented library research from a student point of view which could be found in the virtual space where students hangout. Courtney Donaldson and Chris Talbot were our exceptional student workers for the summer. When asked if they would be interested in participating in a short video on the library, they both were very willing to try. Since we wanted the student perspective, we gave them the bare bones outline of what we were looking for and they put together the narrative in their own words, based on what they had experienced in their own research projects. Jessica Kem Gorman, Deb Levheim and I guided the creation of the video while Eric Zahm (Director of Media) and AJ Dias (student) produced the video. They did the filming, editing and format conversions. I hope that this will be the first of many other videos on information research and library services that we produce! I am particularly interested in developing short clips on searching the catalog and databases, finding full-text articles, and the research process. ~ Mary Jane Sobinski-Smith, Head of Information Literacy, D'Amour Library, Western New England College
