Lights! Camera! Action! Using video for patron and staff instruction
Originally presented August 11, 2011 as part of Trends in Library Training and Learning.
Join presenters, Angela Nolet and Amber Slaven for an overview of the tools available and approaches for cross purposing staff and patron training. Training tutorials and videos can be used as supplements to self-guided classes, resources for outreach events and as alternatives to time consuming staff orientations. Utilize teen volunteers to create peer instruction screencasts that highlight library databases. Topics also include: eBook instruction, community partnerships and OPAC tutorials.

Questions for Discussion:
- Think about staffing, who would you use to create videos? Would this require a new position or would these be duties added to an existing position? How much time could this person/s dedicate to video creation? How could you utilize volunteers to make videos?
- In prioritizing topics for videos, which would be most beneficial to your patrons and staff? What would you hope the video would accomplish?
- Do you think you need to create separate videos for staff? Why or why not?
