Librarians can create a customized video tutorial for your class! Videos can be posted on our Library YouTube channel and/or on Canvas within your course. Advantages of recorded video tutorials are:
- Students can watch the video as homework, saving class time.
- Students can skip or re-watch segments of the video, depending on their knowledge and skill level with research.
- Students can follow along with the tutorial when conducting their own research.
- The videos can be re-used for class assignments from one to semester to another (unless there are changes in content or a library resource).
- Videos can be as short as a few minutes to an hour and anything in between depending on the content.
Examples of video tutorial content:
- Step-by step how to access the library website and how to choose the research database best suited for a student's assignment.
- Step-by-step how to figure out what search terms (keywords) from a student research question or topic to enter to get the best results in a research database.
