LIRT Conference Program -- 2007
 |
It’s Showtime for Instruction Librarians! |
Noah Wyle may be The Librarian but he’s not the only one who can be in a movie! Join us as librarians from Valdosta State University present their experiences as creators and directors of library instruction “videos.” Reference librarians Apryl Price, Yolanda Hood, Deborah VanPetten, and Emily Rogers from Valdosta State University’s Odum Library will discuss their experiences in the making of videos and other multimedia projects as tools for marketing the library’s services and educating students about such topics as plagiarism. Additionally, they will discuss the collaboration with faculty, students, and the community that is essential in the making of these short films. Nancy Colborn, Vincci Kwong, and Jim Yocom from Indiana University South Bend, will also present their experiences in the making of library instruction videos and how these productions can be incorporated into Facebook.com and Myspace.com.
