What makes for ‘bad’ video

• Monotone speakers• Wrong audience level • Not easily identified as relevant• Odd sounds or bad audio• Distracted speakers


Streaming video & the library


How the library can communicate services to students

• Library website• Learning management system• Social media (including Facebook)• Email• Touch screens inside the library• Posters on bulletin boards near the entrance to the

library


In their own words

• Send an email to my school/personal email address or pin it to the bulletin• Giving out only information for relevant services so that I would not

disregard all mails from the library thinking they are all just general mails.• Face to face initially would be nice.• I would rather they list it out on the website. I prefer words over videos.• Facebook page, website- short, snappy posts with links to more

information if required.• Don't tell me, especially don’t send me emails. If I want, I search myself. If

the library wants to inform students, just tell the lecturers to advertise it.• Send emails regarding open houses with FREE ITEMS


What they want from libraries

• Neither faculty nor students think much about the library as a source for streaming video• But both could use the help

• Make it seamless and easy• And discoverable
