I wanted to try something new this summer with the freshman English 101 class. Instead of the old tired library tour, why not let the students film themselves as they learn how to navigate the library catalog and the stacks to find a book? Summer is a good time to try out new ideas. This one worked! Amanda Melcher another library faculty member and two students Hunter Tinsley, and Michael Messina helped me pull it off.
