Information Literacy: Identify Your Sources (Otis College)
Identify what sources are good to use for your papers. Learn the difference between scholarly, academic, professional, popular, and substantive news publications and the benefits and uses for each. To effectively research for college-level papers, students must learn how to evaluate articles in journals and magazines. In this video, an art history professor at Otis College of Art and Design discusses some of the criteria useful in determining whether the information found is scholarly, popular, or professional. The same evaluation criteria may be applied to information found on websites and in books. Please see also the Otis Information Literacy website: http://library.otis.edu/informationliteracy.html

Youtube, Librarians, and Me
This is a video for a Loex presentation (essentially a library conference) my mom is preparing. It's about student-faculty collaboration, media as teaching tools, and other methods of reaching out to students and piquing their interest. This video shows a little bit of my life, how I got into Youtube and making videos, etc. It also acts as an introduction for the other two videos I created with the USF (Tampa) library: Chronicles of Libraria and Databases.
Information Literacy - Sunny's Speech
Sunny, at the front of the classroom, explains the task, in Chinese, to the students. He used Chinese because the vast majority of the students in the class couldn't comprehend my spoken and written word. As a last resort, Sunny delivered the message in Chinese. Some students benefited from the translation. However, as the movie suggests, some students didn't benefit from the change in the medium of instruction - the boys in the back gather around each other as one student has successfully managed to write foul language, in English, on his calculator.
