Online Instructional Videos

Over the past year we have developed a number of short instructional videos illustrating library concepts and skills.  Because of the many questions at the Reference Desk about the nature of scholarly articles and how to find them we put together a series of three video tutorials, addressing different aspects of the issue.  The tutorials are:

(1)   What is a Scholarly Journal?   (2:45 minutes)
(2)   Finding Scholarly Journal Articles in Databases.  (2 minutes)
(3)   Is this a Scholarly Journal ?  (2 minutes)

These videos are available in the iLearn Library Site, “Resources”  module, folder “Basic Library Skills”, sub-folder “Scholarly Journals”.  From the Library Site, individual videos can be copied easily into courses.

Two videos address beginning Library skills.  They are:

(1)  Library Catalog Basic Tutorial (5 minutes)
(2)  Fox Hunt: A Brief Overview (3 ½ minutes)

These videos are available in the iLearn Library Site, “Resources”  module, folder “Basic Library Skills".  Individual videos can be copied easily into courses.

The same videos are available from the Cannavino Library YouTube Channel,  (http://www.youtube.com/user/CannavinoLibrary.)   A playlist with the three Scholarly Journal videos is available at the site. (http://www.youtube.com/user/CannavinoLibrary#g/c/0DE53FAA8EDA5F72) .

We welcome suggestions and requests for new videos addressing library topics or databases.
